LinkedIn released its 2019 Top Companies list, revealing the firms where Americans want to work — and stick around once they’re in — now. To compile the list, editors and data scientists parse billions of actions taken by LinkedIn members around the world to uncover the companies that are attracting the most attention from jobseekers and then hanging onto that talent. The data-driven approach looks at what members are doing — not just saying — in their search for fulfilling careers. The result of that data is Top Companies, the 4th annual ranking of the most sought-after companies today.
