Alabama’s employment rates rank the lowest for actuaries in America. The state is not popular for having as many jobs as the bigger cities in the country, but they are known everywhere to have the ideal cost of living rates–so many times lower than the national average. What’s better for actuaries is how they have wages higher than most states in the US. When paired with their low living expenses, Alabama is simply irresistible.
