Following up on a blog post from yesterday about well-paid summer interns and student interns, we expanded the search to all positions including the term “intern.” Along with the 70 summer and student interns, there are 54 other interns on the state payroll in 2008 including Children and Family Services Interns (C & F Service), Information Services Interns, Public Administration Interns, and other interns. Of these 54 extra interns, there are five that received more than $40,000 in 2008. The highest paid was an Information Services Intern working for the Department of Healthcare and Family Services who received $60,386.53. The table below breaks down the average annual wages, average monthly wages, and number of interns by position name.

To find this information on the IllinoisOpenGov site, go to Payroll and search for “Information Services Intern,” “C & F Service Intern,” “Summer Intern,” “Public Adm Intern,” “Student Intern,” and “Intern” in the “Position” field.
