# MGM RESORTS INTERNATIONAL NAMED A TOP IDEAL EMPLOYER FOR BUSINESS COLLEGE STUDENTS FOR SECOND CONSECUTIVE YEAR
##### Company earns 44th ranking; Only integrated casino resort company to place
Apr 23, 2013 6:10 PM ET
Las Vegas, April 23, 2014 /3BL Media/ - MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM) is one of the nation’s Top 100 Ideal Employers for U.S. business students, according to Universum, a global employer brand research firm. In its second consecutive appearance, MGM Resorts has secured the 44th ranking and remains as the only integrated casino resort company recognized on the annual list. This year's results were recently announced in partnership with the [*Wall Street Journal*](http://blogs.wsj.com/atwork/2014/03/25/why-everyone-wants-to-work-for-google/).
“Students are considering more employers than they have at any other time in the last five years – so the competition is fierce, even for top employers,” said Universum President of the Americas, Melissa Murray Bailey. “These rankings celebrate the employers that have invested in building a strong employer brand and taken the time to truly understand what it is that students value in their career.”
The 2014 rankings of the IDEAL™ Employers are based on a survey of more than 46,000 undergraduate students, and reveal which employers have the most effective employer brands. Students choose an unlimited number of employers they would consider working for from a list of 230. From their “considered” employers they choose their top five “Ideal” employers. The Ideal Employer Rankings represent the companies with the most “Ideal” votes.
“We’re delighted to once again be named to this prestigious list of innovative companies looking for new ways to attract and retain our schools’ best and brightest,” said Jim Murren, Chairman & CEO of MGM Resorts International. “The next generation of employee and business leaders recognizes that we are an employer of choice and a leading entertainment and hospitality company that provides a spectrum of dynamic career paths.”
In a separate survey by Universum last year, Masters of Business Administration students also ranked MGM Resorts high, ranking it No. 86 on Universum’s top 100 companies list for MBA Students. The company has also been recognized by *DiversityInc Magazine, Black Enterprise Magazine,* and the Human Rights Campaign Foundation as being a top company for diversity.
