Best firms for working moms

Working Mother magazine has named the best U.S. companies for working mothers, citing those that have kept or expanded family-friendly programs and policies amid the recession.

Company policies for working mothers are particularly significant as more women become their families’ sole wage earners, said Carol Evans, president of Working Mother Media.

The top 10 companies cited included Deloitte in New York; Ernst & Young of New York; IBM Corp of Armonk, New York; The McGraw-Hill Cos. publishers in New York; and PricewaterhouseCoopers auditors of New York.
