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.
According to the article, the industries with the most spots in the rankings this year were retail and wholesale, healthcare and social services, education, government services, and banking and financial services.
New research from recruiting and consulting firm Robert Half found that a growing number of workers are content to remain in their current jobs. According to the survey, only about 35% of workers plan to look for a new job in the second half of 2024, which is down from 49% during the same period last year.
