Magazine Review

Google has just topped Fortune Magazine’s survey on the 100 Top Companies in the US to work for.   Everyone who is using the Internet (and even some who don’t!) know Google.

Fortune Magazine cites Google’s 8,134 US employees and 60% job growth as among the factors that placed Google on the top of the list, not to mention its popularity. Google offers one of the best salaries in town and the most exciting perks.  However, the opportunity to discover things has made Google number one.

Fortune Magazine continues to deliver crisp and critical insights on the business front. Not surprising that it is also a top business magazine.

The United States economy has got a flu and the symptoms are being seen worldwide specifically in China.  Fortune Magazine recently reported that the Chinese Yuan is gaining ground over the US greenback.

Fortune Magazine reports that the Yuan has so far gained 4.5% versus the dollar for the year 2008.  This is said to be the lowest level since 1994 and the Yuan is expected to gain more in the next months.

But is this good for the Chinese economy?  Those relying on exports and who earn in dollars will definitely say no.

 





Fortune Magazine continues to lead among magazines in its milieu (Forbes and BusinessWeek), 78 years after it was founded by Henry Luce in 1930.  The magazine belongs to the Time Incorporated’s Fortune/Money Group which produces Time, Sports Illustrated and of course, Fortune Magazine.

Fortune Magazine’s founding is evident of the genius and foresight of Luce  who started the magazine just months after the crash of Wall Street and to the disagreement of his partner Briton Hadden.

The first issue of Fortune Magazine only cost $1. How time flies.
