Forbes recently released its "America's Best Large Employers" list and the Lone Star State was well represented!
The entire list, which features 500 large employers, is based on a survey 45,000 workers at American companies with 5,000 or more employees. "Participants were asked if they would recommend their current employers to friends and family (on a scale of 0 to 10), and to cite any other employer they would also recommend," the business magazine said.
The No. 1 large employer in the country is the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The second spot belongs to a Texas company: Houston Methodist. H-E-B was also included in the ranking, making them the only two Texas businesses in the top 10.
Here's a look at the eight companies from Texas listed on Forbes ranking:
- Houston Methodist (#2 overall)
