Can you provide me with companies that are known to treat their staff

Hi again, Jill

Sorry, I was unaware that you'd already seen the Fortune 100 list.  In
my search, I didn't find anything specific to age demographics.  If
there were such a list, it would probably have been included in Gary
Price's List of Lists:

Since it's getting late, I'll be glad to search a bit further for you
tomorrow.

Best regards,
V

Hi Julie,

Uh ... that would be me.  Here's what happened.  After spending about
eight hours on your question and finding only general "best companies"
and peripheral information, late Saturday I requested that the editors
remove my answer.  It is at their discretion which answers they deem
appropriate and which are removed.

I posted the refund option to you since my answer hadn't been removed.
 I regret that I was too beary-eyed to work on your question further
on Sunday.  It's possible that the editors were operating with a
skeleton crew with the holiday weekend since the answer wasn't removed
until today.  Usually their response is quite swift indeed.  I did,
however, keep a copy of links in my answer so I could revisit them
myself.  I've posted them at the end, but I don't feel the answer met
with either of our standards.

Why don't we see if another researcher can find a list geared toward
younger employees?  I certainly would like to see this list myself,
but I'm back at my regular gig today.  However, if you desparately
need this information and the question isn't answered in a day or two,
you might consider raising the fee by clicking on "edit parameters." 
I had a dickens of a time finding it, but another researcher might
look under the proper haystack.

I did find this study that was done by P.O.V. magazine back in 1999
which listed Charles Schwab in the Top 12, but job climates change so
quickly that it seemed like stone age information.

Wishing you the best of luck in find your "best employers (geared
toward younger employers)" list!
