Coming in next is Ohio. What made it rank this high on the list of the best states for chemical engineers is its employment rates. Only 8 states in America have over 1,000 chemical engineering jobs at the moment, and Ohio is one of them. The wages they offer are still quite far from the national average, but has a lot of value when you factor in their cost of living rates. Overall, it still is a great state to work and live in.
