Do unpaid interns get Labor Day off?

I can't seem to find an update on the August 2013 article on unpaid interns in the White House, which I wanted to use for Labor Day. For a guy urging a $10.10 minimum it seems a little hypocritical; on the other hand, it is we the people w...ho would be paying these political unpaid servants. Not only are they unpaid, they'd have to be wealthy or have a rich family to support another year of not paying college loans so they could "move forward" Obama's plans. Not much diversity in the photo.

Impossible to tell, but it looks like about 120 in this photo.

I only noticed 2 from Ohio; 12 from Maryland.  Have to be politically connected to get these “jobs.”
