The 11 New York Companies Are the Best Places to Work in America

If you're making a desirable salary and live in New York, you just might be employed by one of these 11 companies that have been named America's best employers.

It's no secret New York has a higher cost of living than most of the nation. A recent roundup found the Empire State had the 4th "most expensive" cost of living in the country.

New York also isn't shy when it comes to collecting its fair share of taxes, and charges one of the highest income taxes in the continental U.S. Despite our taxes keeping us among the least-affordable states in the country, there is one strong factor why we fork over so much to Uncle Sam every paycheck... New York's salaries are among the best.
