Salisbury, MD, March 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Perdue Farms has been recognized as one of America's greatest workplaces for job starters in 2024 by Newsweek, the only agricultural company and one of only two Meat, Poultry & Fish companies awarded this distinction. This award is a testament to Perdue Farms’ commitment to providing all its associates a safe, supportive and healthy work environment where they have the chance to learn and grow every day.

“We are immensely proud to receive this recognition from Newsweek and remain steadfast in our commitment to attracting and developing talent, early in their careers,” said Julie Katigan, Chief Human Resources Officer at Perdue Farms. “Our valued associates are our biggest asset and the reason for our success.
