The University of Pittsburgh is proud to have been selected for inclusion on the prestigious 2025 Forbes America's Best-in-State Employers list for Pennsylvania.

Announced on August 21, 2025, Pitt was ranked among the 100 best employers in the commonwealth.

"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," said James W. Gallaher Jr., vice chancellor for human resources. "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."

Now in its seventh year, the Forbes list highlights organizations that foster an environment where their employees can thrive. Forbes partners with the market research firm Statista to compile the rankings, surveying more than 160,000 employees to identify organizations with positive work environments and sustainable growth. Respondents identify how likely they are to recommend their own workplace and other organizations in their industry. Pitt was last included on the list in 2023.
