2 San Antonio companies clock in among top employers in Texas, says Forbes
It doesn’t take too much number crunching to figure out that San Antonio is home to two of the Lone Star State’s most admired employers. And now, they are both getting a pat on the back for a job well done.
According to Forbes magazine, which just released its lists of the country’s best large employers and best startup employers, San Antonio boasts two of the best in the U.S.
New rankings from Forbes put San Antonio-based H-E-B at No. 38 on its list of the best large employers in the U.S. Additionally, San Antonio banking and insurance giant USAA cashes in with a No. 135 ranking on the best large employers list.
USAA employs some 36,000 workers and has routinely earned a spot on Forbes’ variety of employer-focused best of lists. Likewise, H-E-B, most Texans’ top choice of grocer, also regularly makes the cut on Forbes’ best of employer lists, and employs about 100,000 workers.
Though plenty of startups in Texas made the Forbes list of the best startup employers in the country, no San Antonio companies did.
