For its seventh annual list, Forbes partnered with Statista to survey over 160,000 U.S. employees at companies with at least 500 workers. Participants from all 50 states and D.C. rated – on a scale from zero to 10 – how likely they were to recommend their employer.

Those participants also were asked to rate employers on categories like pay equity, career growth, work culture, plus how serious work issues are addressed. They also reviewed former employers and companies over the past two years they knew from their industry or personal connections.
