17. Massachusetts
Annual median wage: $101,500

Employment: 920
Massachusetts is a lot like New Jersey. It has high annual median wages to offer, only to slash these high wages with their very expensive cost of living rates. If you know you are good with budgeting and saving up, it would still be a good idea to find a chemical engineering job in The Bay State. Their employment rate isn’t so high, but in the context of chemical engineers, it still has some potential.
