These are the best employers in Florida, new study reveals

For the seventh year in a row, Forbes has released its list of the best employers in the country — and Florida in particular.

To put together the list, researchers surveyed over 160,000 employees across the nation who work for companies with at least 500 people.

“Survey respondents... were asked how likely they were to recommend their employer on a scale of zero to 10 and were asked to evaluate their workplace based on criteria including wage parity, work culture, paths to professional advancement and whether the employer takes action on serious issues, such as sexual harassment,” the report reads.

Within the Sunshine State, common staples like Publix, Darden Restaurants and Royal Caribbean managed to place among the top 100 companies.

But many firms headquartered outside of Florida actually topped the list, including Navy Federal, Capital One, Google and Apple.
