OCC Named One of the Top Places to Start a Career

WASHINGTON – The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency was named one of the 50 best places in America to start a career by Business Week magazine.

“The Business Week ranking confirms what we’ve long known: that the OCC is a great place to start – and build – a career,” said Comptroller of the Currency John C. Dugan.

The OCC ranked 48^th on Business Week’s list of top employers for new college graduates.

The Comptroller said that attracting and retaining high-quality people is one of his top priorities. 

“We supervise banks with nearly $6.5 trillion in assets, including the largest and most sophisticated financial institutions in the world, and it is imperative that we continue to hire the best and the brightest college graduates – and keep them,” he said.  “The Business Week ranking reaffirms how much we have to offer America’s top college graduates.”
