Earlier this year, CareerBliss created a list of the 50 happiest companies in America. To determine which companies made the grade, CareerBliss reviewed thousands of company reviews from visitors to its website--grading such things as work-life balance, relationship with boss and co-workers, work environment, compensation, growth opportunities, company culture, and more.
Says Heidi Golledge, CareerBliss CEO and chief happiness officer, "This year we saw a surge of STEM-related companies [Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math] ranking in the top 10. As we evaluate the factors that impact happiness, such as growth opportunity and company culture, it is also important to understand what type of industries are creating happier work environments overall."
Expert Market reviewed these findings and noticed some interesting trends:
- 26 of the 50 happiest companies in the U.S. are based in California
- 14 percent of the 50 happiest companies have female CEOs
- The average salary for those working in the 50 happiest companies is $67,200
