We continue the short lists release of the Most Attractive Employers in Sporttoday with the third of eleven categories - the Top 20 Most Attractive Sports Teams USA.
The NBA leads with 11 team appearances on the list . The MLS, in the midst of rapid growth in revenue and popularity across the United States, appears on the list six times. The NFL with two teams and the MLB with one team round out the Top 20 list.
The list is the result of a study conducted by iWorkinSport, which surveyed more than 1,500 people from all continents, with the majority already working in sport, and asked them a simple question: “If you could choose to work anywhere in sport, where would that be?”
At first, the respondents chose organisations divided into ten categories and, at the end, they indicated one single preferred choice, overall – the “Employer of their Dreams”.
The final rankings of the iWorkinSport Most Attractive Employers 2023 will be announced at an Awards ceremony at the Olympic Museum, in Lausanne, on June 1st, at a VIP dinner offered to recruiters and academic partners of the iWorkinSport Job Fair, which will take place the following day in Lausanne.
