Not everyone loves their job or their employer. In fact, you're considered lucky if you enjoy going to work and have a good relationship with your company.

Forbes released its list of America's Best Large Employers for 2024, after a survey of workers at U.S. companies with more than 5,000 workers. The results shone a light on which companies were most favorable to those who work for them.

"Survey respondents were asked to evaluate their employer based on a range of criteria, including working hours, salary, opportunities for training and promotion, workload expectations, mental health benefits, and diversity within the management team," Forbes said. "Participants were also asked if they would recommend their employer to others, and were given the chance to rate other employers in their respective industries."

Which Oklahoma companies landed on Forbes Best Large Employers list for 2024?

Two Oklahoma companies made it to the top 50.

The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, which employs 12,000, made it to No. 32 on Forbes list of 600 companies.

“We are proud to be a tribal organization that associates enjoy being a part of and would recommend to their family and friends,” said Choctaw Nation Chief Gary Batton. “We will continue to do our part to remain an ‘Employer of Choice’ by ensuring our associates are supported as we fulfill our mission and vision to improve the lives of tribal members and strengthen our communities.”

Following close behind, the Chickasaw Nation Department of Commerce was No. 46. The department employs 13,5000 people.
