10.05.2017 Statista and Forbes publish new ranking of “America’s Best Employers”

Statista, in partnership with Forbes, has published the ranking of America’s Best Employers for the third year running.

This year Costco, after two years in the Top 5, has taken the top spot for large companies, followed by internet giant Google and the outdoor retailer REI. In the mid-sized employer ranking, the British cosmetics company LUSH took the crown from L.L.Bean.

This year, the survey of around 30,000 American employees helped identify and award the 500 best large companies, i.e. enterprises with more than five thousand employees, as well as the 300 best mid-sized companies, i.e. enterprises within one to five thousand employees. Respondents were asked to evaluate their employers in terms of atmosphere, working conditions, remuneration, etc. A particularly deciding factor was the willingness to recommend the employer to a friend or family member.

The full list was published on May 9th 2017 in Forbes magazine and is now available online on forbes.com.
