CNN/Money has divulged its annual list: “100 Best Companies to Work for in 2010.”  Thanks to the current unemployment rate many of these companies should expect a crushing amount of applications. However, some of the companies on the list were able to continue business as usual — without a single layoff! That truly is amazing.

The Top 5:

1. SAS – sas.com
2. Edward Jones – edwardjones.com
3. Wegmans – wegmans.com
4. Google – google.com
5. Nugget Market – nuggetmarket.com

Two of the top five are information technology companies, two are in the grocery business, and one is in financial services. I’m surprised that Edward Jones remained this high given the issues in the financial sector over the past couple of years.

Look for the one(s) in your backyard.
