Everyone knows Michigan is an amazing place to live. But did you know the Mitten State also has some of the best large employers in the country? It's true! Forbes just came out with a list of America's Best Large Employers, and four Michigan companies landed in the Top 100.

How Did Forbes Come Up With This List?

Forbes partnered with market research firm Statista to compile their list by surveying 60,000 Americans working for businesses with at least 1,000 employees. Participants were asked to rate their willingness to recommend their own employers to friends and family and to nominate organizations other than their own.
