A new report found which companies were named the best employers for women in the U.S.
Forbes and Statista, a market research company, surveyed 60,000 Americans, including 40,000 women, to come up with its findings. Those surveyed worked in a company with more than 1,000 staffers.
Forbes noted 56 percent of women made up all the college students but 23 percent make up the C-suite or those who are top staffers. In May, Fortune noted the number of female CEOs leading Fortune 500 companies was higher this year than ever before but it was only 6.6 percent of the group.
The company that made the list’s top spot on “America’s Best Employers for Women 2019” was the Estée Lauder Companies.
