Texas State University has been named among "America's Best-in-State Employers" by Forbes magazine.

The bi-weekly business magazine listed Texas State at No. 86 among the 100 best employers in Texas. Texas State is the only four-year university to be included in the Texas ranking. 

Forbes previously recognized Texas State among "America's Best Employers" in 2019 and 2017, "Best Employers for Women" in 2018 and "Best Employers for Diversity" in 2019. 

For the rankings, Forbes worked with market research firm Statista to cull data from a survey of 80,000 U.S. employees working for businesses with at least 500 employees. The list is divided into 51 rankings—one for each state plus the District of Columbia. Surveys were conducted on a rolling basis from October 2019 to May 2020, and responses regarding the same employers were compared throughout the process, so as to account for any statistically significant variations in the results collected before and after the onset of the coronavirus pandemic.
