MORRISTOWN, NJ — Atlantic Health System has been recognized as one of New Jersey’s best employers in Forbes’ 2025 America’s Best Employers by State rankings, landing at #19 on the list.

The survey asked participants to rate their own employer and others they are familiar with, using criteria such as wage fairness, work-life balance, professional development, and company response to misconduct.

The 2025 list includes 1,417 companies that made it onto at least one state ranking, with a total of 2,500 state-level placements. New Jersey’s rankings featured a mix of major healthcare systems, higher education institutions, tech companies, financial service firms, and retailers.
