[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 116780, member: 1246"] [B][SIZE=4]Maybe this is why the stock is up....[/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=4][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=4]bizjournals.com [/SIZE][/B]UPS among best places to launch a career Monday September 11, 2:06 pm ET Shipping giant United Parcel Service Inc. made nearly 3,500 entry-level hires, with an average pay of $50,000 to $54,999, in 2005. Defense contractor Raytheon hired more than 1,100 entry-level workers, starting them at $55,000. And accounting firm Deloitte & Touche hired more than 3,350 entry-level folks last year, at an average salary of $50,000 to $54,999. Make you want to switch jobs? BusinessWeek has put together its first-ever ranking of the Best Places to Launch a Career, with Walt Disney Co. taking the top spot and several companies with Louisville operations making the cut. To determine the ranking, BusinessWeek surveyed directors of undergraduate career services to find out which employers were creating a buzz on campus. Then those finalists were asked to complete a questionnaire about pay, benefits, retention and training programs, which BusinessWeek compared with other employers in the same industry. Finally, BusinessWeek asked Universum Communications to supply data from its survey of more than 37,000 U.S. undergrads who were asked to name the organizations at the top of their list of the most desirable employers. Coming in at No. 3 is Deloitte & Touche, which has an office in downtown Louisville and employs about 35 people locally. According to BusinessWeek, one out of four partners has at least 20 years with the firm. One-third of experienced hires are "boomerangs" who have left and returned. Raytheon, which operates a plant at the Airport Industrial Center in South Louisville, ranked No. 7. "Once you're in, you're in -- 43 percent of top executives have been with the company 20 years or more," BusinessWeek said. Manufacturing and media titan General Electric Co., which bases its Consumer & Industrial division in Louisville and employs about 5,000 people at Appliance Park, ranked No. 8. Another accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, came in at No. 12. The company has about 100 local employees. Louisville's largest employer, United Parcel Service Inc., ranked No. 24 on the list. The Atlanta-based company employs more than 20,000 workers in Louisville through its Louisville-based UPS Airlines division and the Worldport international air hub, the company's largest package-handling facility. "Part-timers at UPS receive comprehensive medical benefits just like full-time employees," BusinessWeek said. Published September 11, 2006 by Business First</I> [/QUOTE]
