Alphabet, Facebook, and Amazon can't stop attracting job hunters.
The three tech conglomerates topped LinkedIn's list of the hottest companies where Americans want to work for the third year in a row.
On Wednesday, LinkedIn released its annual "Top Companies" ranking, which calculates the most popular corporations among job seekers by analyzing interest in companies, engagement with current employees, job demand, and employee retention. The list also included skills that companies are looking for in new employees, and the divisions with the most new hires.
Despite a rocky year for big tech firms - which included major Facebook data leaks, Alphabet's $90 million exit package for sexual misconduct, and Amazon drawing ire from lawmakers and activists over its HQ2 search - job seekers remain unphased. Amazon fell from the top spot in 2018 to number 3, while Alphabet and Facebook moved up one spot from last year to 1 and 2, respectively.
