 DEC - A top employer for women
   DEC was among the 52 best US employers for women, a survey in the current
 issue of Savvy magazine says. Other companies rated tops as employers of
 women included building supplies retailer Payless Cashways Inc., Fidelity
 Bank N.A. of Philadelphia and business-machine manufacturer Pitney-Bowes Inc.
 The survey was the result of research conducted by Lorraine Dusky and Baila
 Zeitze. They examined about 200 US companies that, according to women who
 work there, excel in salary levels, benefits, sexual harassment policies,
 hiring practices and opportunities for promotion. Dusky and Baila narrowed the
 field to 52 companies they believe offer women the best overall work
 environment. In the area of retailing, Payless Cashways of Kansas City, Mo.,
 was cited as a top employer for women. So were Neiman Marcus of Dallas, a
 division of Carter Hawley Hale Stores Inc., Saks Fifth Avenue of New York, a
 division of Batus Inc.; and Conran's USA of New York.

    A good control question, is the number of CEOs, VPs, and/or upper
    level management positions held by women in these 52 best (including
    DEC in the question).
