Military Times EDGE recently published their “Best for Vets: Employers 2010” list on their website. Military Times EDGE is a special section of the Military Times devoted to providing military members with advice for professional and educational success. The list, which is compiled of 50 top companies, gives rankings for military recruitment and policies.

The website encouraged companies on the Fortune 1,000, the Defense News 100, and the Federal Times’ General Services Administration 250 lists to complete a survey about their military recruitment practices. Military Times EDGE evaluated the responses in four areas; Recruiting, Training and Mentoring, Reserve policies, and corporate culture.

General Electric won the top seat on the list. The company has 300,000 US employers and earned high marks in all four of the ranking criteria. Another company that earned high marks coming in at number 23, is General Motors. Based out of Detroit, Michigan, this company has worked to employ veterans even after many difficult economic woes.  Other recognizable companies such as Travelers insurance,Waste Management, and Bank of America also favored well on the list.

This recently published list shows many similarities to the top GI Jobs list, which CODE featured a few weeks ago. Congratulations to all the companies on both lists for working hard to be great places for veterans to work!
