Forbes, the company that keeps track of the world’s billionaires and their riches, has come out with a new list: “America’s Best Employers,” and UC Davis is on it, ranked 86th out of 503.

UC Davis is among 26 employers that made the list in the ”education” category. Washington University, St. Louis, is first in the category (and 13th overall); Stanford is fourth in the education category (and 50th overall), and the only other California institution to make the list.

The list, which Forbes prepared in partnership with Statista.com, is based on a survey of more than 20,000 workers at companies, nonprofit institutions, government agencies, and U.S. divisions of multinational companies — each with a minimum headcount of 2,500.

Each employee responded anonymously, using a scale of 0 to 10 to indicate the likelihood he or she would recommend his or her employer, or other employers in the same industry, to someone else.
