Houston companies simply have more wealth to share on average, which reflects in home-based EOG Resources' taking the number eight spot in Fortune Magazine's 25 Top-Paying Companies. Sitting smugly well above companies like Adobe Systems and Microsoft, EOG pays its Engineers an average of $171,943 a year.

The Enron spinoff has overcome any bad stigma the industry may have left lingering, by becoming on of the nation's leading independent drillers of oil and gas. Despite low prices in 2009, the company continues to hire new staffers, promote employees, and managed no layoffs.

EOG offers excellent pay and benefit packages with stock options for all employees. In addition, several locations sponsor health fairs; the Houston headquarters even has a walking club and Weight Watchers program, where 64 employees lost a combined 754 pounds in less than a year.
