Forbes partnered with market research company Statista to identify organizations best liked by employees. The rankings in America’s Best Employers by State are based on an independent, online, anonymous survey of more than 80,000 Americans working for businesses with at least 500 employees. Surveys were conducted on a rolling basis from October 2019 to May 2020. Responses regarding the same employers were compared throughout the process so as to account for any significant variations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Respondents were asked to rate their employers on a variety of criteria, including safety of work environment, competitiveness of compensation, opportunities for advancement, openness to telecommuting, as well as how likely they’d be to recommend their employer to others and to nominate organizations in industries outside their own.
