Now we shift our attention to a state that is considered to be a place where religious freedom was born. Being one of the smallest states and most densely populated, Maryland also has one of the highest household incomes in the United States. Although it isn’t cheap to live here, the things look pretty good from an employment perspective. It is projected that Maryland’s number of employed nuclear engineers will jump from 590 to 640. There will be 20 average annual openings for this occupation. The state has one active nuclear power plant.
