Two Springfield-based companies made Forbes' annual list of the best large employers in the United States.
The list, published yesterday, puts Bass Pro Shops at No. 323 and O’Reilly Automotive Inc. (Nasdaq: ORLY) at No. 398.
Forbes partnered with market research firm Statista and developed the list based on a survey of some 45,000 workers at American companies and institutions with 5,000 or more employees. The companies on the list received the most recommendations when survey participants were asked how likely they were to recommend their employers to friends and family.
No. 1 on the Forbes list is the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, followed by Houston Methodist in Texas and the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.
The Republic School District is on track to open its Intermediate School for fifth- and sixth-grade students for the 2025-26 academic year.
