48 New Jersey-based companies have been recognized on Forbes’ 2025 America’s Best Employers By State list.
The annual ranking, compiled with research firm Statista, draws from surveys of more than 160,000 U.S. employees. Respondents evaluated their workplaces on pay, culture, advancement opportunities, and how employers respond to major issues. Both direct employee feedback and public perception within industries factored into the scores.
New Jersey companies honored in the list span health care, education, pharmaceuticals, finance, retail, and manufacturing.
