Best Places to Work in the Federal Government logo

Historical Information by Agency

The Partnership for Public Service has produced the Best Places to Work in the Federal Government® rankings since 2003 using data primarily from the Office of Personnel Management's annual Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey. To maintain previous years' scores and rankings for the public record, the historical data can be found below. While the 2025 Public Service Viewpoint Survey contains similar questions, eligibility requirements and approaches to response weighting to the FEVS, the survey results are not directly comparable and can be found on the Public Service Viewpoint dashboard.
