Forbes released its list of the 500 Best Midsize Employers, including several publishers. Penguin Random House ranked #4; Scholastic ranked #41; McGraw Hill ranked #277; Simon & Schuster ranked #342, making the list for the first time; and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt ranked #420. Forbes and market research company Statista compiled the list by “surveying 60,000 Americans working for businesses with at least 1,000 employees.” Respondents were asked “to rate, on a scale of zero to ten, how likely they’d be to recommend their employer.” Additionally, they rated factors like working conditions, development opportunities, compensation, and diversity, equity and inclusion.
