Young Workers Like Facebook, Apple and Google

Young professionals want to work for Google, Apple and Facebook. Investment banks? Not so much. About one in five young workers in the U.S. picked Google as a most desirable place to work according to a survey by Universum, an employment data and consulting firm. Apple, Facebook, the U.S. State Department and Walt Disney round out the top five. Universum queried about 6,700 early-career professionals, defined as college graduates under the age of 40 with one to eight years of work experience, and asked them to pick as many as five ideal employers out of a list of about 200. Respondents could also write in candidates. This is the second year that Universum has conducted the survey. Google topped the earlier survey as well.
