Methodology
To develop the list, Statista surveyed 80,000 workers at businesses with at least 500 employees. Survey responses were anonymous. Respondents were asked to rate, on a sale of 0 to 10, how likely they would be to recommend their employer to others, and to nominate companies in other industries.
Forbes explains that the number of businesses ranked in each state depended on the number of qualifying employers and the size of the state’s workforce. Companies with operations in more than one state could be listed more than once.
This is Forbes’ first-ever ranking of America’s best employers by state. The final list ranks 1,430 employers that received the most recommendations. The rankings were divided into 51 lists: one for each state, plus the District of Columbia.
