Best Employers In Michigan: New Forbes List

MICHIGAN — Forbes has released a new list that identifies the best employers in Michigan. Unlike Forbes’ annual list of the best employers in the country, the first-ever best employers by state feature consists of a unique list for all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Still, Forbes writes that some employers took the No.1 spot on many state lists. Costco Wholesale and Google took the most No.1 spots, according to Forbes. Boeing also featured in more than one No.1 spot, Forbes writes.

Two federal government agencies, the United States Department of Defense and the Department of Veteran Affairs, ranked on a number of state lists despite not being ranked nationally by Forbes.

According to Forbes, the best Michigan-based employers are:

• University of Michigan Health System
• Grand Valley State University
• Ford Motor Company
• Henry Ford Health System
• Kellogg
• General Motors
• Auto-Owners Insurance
• Fiat Chrysler Automobiles
• Gentex
• Consumers Energy
• DTE Energy
• Bronson Healthcare
• Utica Community Schools
• Beaumont Health
• Steelcase
• Western Michigan University
• Quicken Loans
• The Auto Club Group
• Denso
• Michigan State University
• Domino’s Pizza
• Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Michigan
• Gordon Food Service
• SpartanNash
• Meijer

Forbes said it worked with Statista to come up with the rankings. An anonymous survey consisting of 50,000 Americans working for businesses with at least 500 employees was used to come up with the rankings. (You can read more about the methodology via Forbes)
