5. Alabama
Annual median wage: $99,590
Cost of living: 91.2
Employment: 510
Not so many jobs for chemical engineers here, yes. But an annual median wage that is just a few dollars away from hitting a whopping $100,000 truly makes Alabama one of your best bets in America when you’re looking for a state to hunt for a chemical engineering job. Plus, can you imagine earning that much and spending so little on your living expenses? Have your chemical cake and eat it, too.
