A recent survey of employers across the United States has found not only the best employer overall but the best in each state.

For California residents, it’s good to work in retail and insurance.

Best Employer in the US Has 140 California Locations

Overall, the ‘Best Employer’ in the United States is the retail giant Costco. Costco has 625 location in the US and nearly a quarter of them, 140 (or 22 percent), are in California. Costco has won the overall award in the yearly study done by Statista and Forbes for the last 6 years.

However, Costco isn’t the top employer in California. They aren’t even in the top 10 - and they barely make the top 50 best employers in the Golden State. Costco earned the 45th spot on the list.

CA Insurance Company Named ‘Best Employer’ for 2024

According to the study, the top employer in California isn’t a California-based company. Their headquarters are in Mayfield Village, Ohio but that doesn’t keep them from being a great company to work for.

Progressive Insurance took the top spot in California.
