Three New Jersey companies are among the 100 most in demand in the world for which to work, according to a list compiled by LinkedIn.

New Brunswick-based health care giant Johnson & Johnson finished 11th in the rankings.

The other Garden State businesses making the cut are Honeywell in Morristown (81st) and Avaya (93rd), which is headquartered in the Basking Ridge section of Bernards.

Honeywell is a Fortune 100 company that manufactures hundreds of products ranging from aircraft engines to barcode scanners.

Avaya describes itself as a"recognized innovator and leading global provider of real-time business collaboration and communications solutions."

The five-highest ranked companies:

• Google

• Apple

• Unilever

• Microsoft

• Facebook

LinkedIn said it assembled the list by analyzing billions of data points between members and companies and comparing the data with member surveys to determine a company's familiarity and engagement score.

The score also considered how often the company and its employees' profile pages were viewed.
