Massachusetts' Best-in-State Employers by Forbes Magazine

Forbes, with market research company Statista, compiles an annual list of America’s Best Employers By State. The list is divided into 51 rankings—one for each of the 50 states, plus the District of Columbia—and compiled by surveying 80,000 Americans working for businesses with at least 500 employees. Surveys are conducted on a rolling basis from October to June. 

This ranking seeks to demonstrate how perceptions of companies differ from state to state based on local leadership and economies. Then they rank the top 3 to 101 companies in each state, depending on the size of its workforce.
