Joyce http://www.job-hunt.org/job-search-news/?p=19 HireVetsFirst.gov relased their list of the top military-friendly employers, based on a survey (not clear whether it was the employers, the employees, or both who were surveyed).  It’s an interesting collection from the BNSF Railway through USAA (not a surprise there) to General Electric and EDS.

The emphasis does seem to be on transportation companies (BNSF, J.B. Hunt, Union Pacific), retail (Lowe’s and Sears),  energy (Progress Energy, Xcel Energy, and American Electric Power),  government prime contractors (Fluor, GE, and EDS), communications (AT&T and SprintNextel), and other assorted companies like Brinks and ITT.

The current list - Top 50 Military-Friendly Employers.  The next list, scheduled for release in December, 2008, will be worth checking.  EDS (# 17 on the current list) was recengly acquired by Hewlett Packard and announced substantial layoffs, so they may drop off.
