The University of Pittsburgh is proud to be included on the prestigious 2025 Forbes list of America’s Best-in-State Employers for Pennsylvania.
Announced on August 21, Pitt was ranked among the top 100 employers in the commonwealth. This recognition reflects the University’s ongoing commitment to fostering a workplace where employees feel valued, supported, and empowered to thrive.
Now in its seventh year, the Forbes list celebrates organizations that cultivate positive work environments and sustainable growth. In partnership with market research firm Statista, Forbes surveyed more than 160,000 employees nationwide. Respondents rated their own employers and others in their industry based on factors such as workplace culture, opportunities for development, and willingness to recommend their organization.
Pitt was previously recognized on the list in 2023, and its continued inclusion highlights the University’s dedication to creating a dynamic and inclusive workplace.
"This ranking solidifies our University's reputation as an employer of choice, where people want to come to work and be part of the amazing things we're making possible at Pitt. Under the Plan for Pitt, we're continuously working to make the University a welcoming and engaging workplace where everyone feels valued and supported, and this recognition is a testament to those efforts. We are honored to be acknowledged among Pennsylvania's top employers."
