Top 50 Gen Y Companies in the U.S., Chicago

More than half of the just-released Top 50 Gen Y Companies have a presence in the Chicago market.  

The list, prepared by online Gen Y career site Brazen Careerist and online compensation firm Payscale, provides an excellent new tool for assessing best places to work for young professionals.  

Beginning with more than 50,000 companies, the analysis eliminated companies with fewer than 2,500 employees.  In order to focus on companies that are major employers of college graduates, they then narrowed the list to companies with more than 2,000 bachelor's degree and higher graduates.  From that list, they picked the top 50 based on percentage of Gen Y employees, median total cash compensation for Gen Y employees, gender balance and "Green" score, as determined by Climate Counts.

The top 50 Gen Y companies and links to their career sites are:
