Layoff-free companies

Seems like nary a day goes by without some major business announcing that it is parting ways with thousands of employees. Layoffs and downsizings have become so much a part of the daily news that the numbers barely shock anymore.

Of course, not every company is improving its bottom line by trimming expenses rather than expanding business. At least a few waded into January’s general malaise with the enviable history of never having to resort to letting employees go in calculated numbers.

Fortune has its own list of “No layoffs — ever!”

Here goes:

– Nugget Markets

– Devon Energy

– Aflac

– QuikTrip

– Container Store

– NuStar Energy

– Stew Leonard’s

– Scottrade

– Publix Super Markets
