How Forbes Evaluated the Rankings
Forbes’ Most Trusted Companies in America list assesses more than 50 metrics across six categories: employee sentiment, customer sentiment, financial performance, business trajectory, media perception, and workforce stability.
To qualify, companies must be headquartered in the United States and employ at least 10,000 domestic workers. Public agencies, schools, and nonprofits were not included.
Multiple partners, including Glassdoor, HundredX, Crunchbase, SignalAI, People Data Labs, and Forbes provided data. Scores from each category were standardized and benchmarked by industry, resulting in the final overall ranking, where Delta placed No. 10.
