For the sixth-straight year, Fortune magazine named Google as the best place to work in the country.

No Oregon-based companies made the list.

OregonLive.com speculates that the state’s “lack of large companies and historically high unemployment rates don’t work in our favor.”

Oregon Business unveiled its  2015 list of 100 Best Companies to Work For in Oregon  in late February.

The 100 Best list recognizes large, medium and small companies for excellence in work environment, management and communications, decision-making and trust, career development and learning, and benefits and compensation. The winners and their rankings were revealed at the 100 Best awards dinner and are published in the March 2015 issue of Oregon Business and online at OregonBusiness.com.
