To create the list, Forbes partnered with market research firm Statista to survey more than 160,000 employees working for companies with at least 500 people within the United States. Survey participants were asked how likely they were to recommend their employer on a scale of zero to 10. Respondents were also asked to evaluate employers they’d worked for within the past two years, and organizations they knew within their industry or through friends or family who worked there.

Responses, received from all 50 states and Washington, D.C., were then tallied and incorporated into a scoring system, along with survey data from the past three years.

Companies that received the highest scores in each state made our list, with each state ranking between three and 101 employers, depending on the size of the state and the number of responses received. 1,294 organizations were named to America’s Best-In-State Employers 2024 list.
