Virginia ranking this high on this list of best states for chemical engineers is somehow expected. Its annual median wage for chemical engineers is almost $100,000 which is also higher than the national average. Plus, its cost of living is just a tiny bit higher than the average. It isn’t even 101 even after rounding off, so it technically is still on the average. The employment rates are with so much promise as well. What more could you possibly look for, chemical engineers?
