Actuaries are not as in demand as accountants, which could justify why some states do not have employment rates reaching thousands for this occupation. Needless to say, Nebraska’s employment rates stay on the decent side. The state boasts of very cheap cost of living rates, which simply means no matter how low you think the wages are, there will be no problem sustaining a life since your bills will cost almost nothing.
