While many just work to pay the bills and feed their families, jobs can be fulfilling if you pick the right employer.
There are many companies to work for in South Carolina, but some are better than others. Be it higher pay, more benefits, or quality working conditions, some companies just have more to offer.
But how can you know which employers are the best without getting hired there first?
For the 10th year in a row, global media company Forbes has ranked the best companies to work for in each state.
This year Forbes again partnered with market research firm Statista to survey more than 217,000 employees working at companies in the U.S. that employ more than 1,000 people. The workers were asked if they would recommend their employer to others and to evaluate that employer on a scale of zero to 10. Workers 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.
The responses were tallied and analyzed along with additional survey data from the last three years, helping to create a more complete assessment of companies. Companies that received the highest scores in each state made the list.
