PORTLAND, Ore. ( KOIN ) — Job-hunting Oregonians may want to consider Forbes ’ 2024 list of “America’s Best Employers” before filling out applications.
The Forbes list ranks the best employers for every state and was compiled using 160,000 employee surveys conducted by the market research firm Statista.
“Survey participants were asked how likely they were to recommend their employer on a scale of zero to 10,” the Forbes article reads. “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.”
Portland pizzeria still one of the ‘best in the world,’ but ranking changes
Based on the results, Oregon’s best employers are made up of a mix of locally based businesses, organizations, government agencies and national chains. Companies must employ at least 500 people nationally to be considered for the rankings.
