Methodology
To create the list of America's Best-In-State Employers 2025, Forbes partnered with market research firm Statista to survey more than 160,000 employees who work for a company of at least 500 people within the United States. Survey respondents—hailing from every state and Washington D.C.— were asked how likely they were to recommend their employer on a scale of zero to 10, and were asked to evaluate their workplace based on criteria including wages parity, work culture, paths to professional advancement and whether the employer takes action on serious issues, such as sexual harassment.
Participants were also asked to evaluate their previous employers (within the last two years) and organizations they knew within their industry or through friends or family who work there. Responses were then incorporated into a scoring system, along with survey data from the past three years. Greater weight was given to the more recent data and to the responses from current employees within the state. Companies that received the highest scores in each state made our final lists, with each state ranking between three and 102 employers, depending on the size of the state and the number of responses received. Some employers were ranked in multiple states. Ultimately, 1,417 companies made it onto at least one of our state lists, which yielded a combined 2,500 rankings.
As with all Forbes lists, companies pay no fee to participate or be selected.
