When it comes to the best states in America to find a job, New Jersey is not one to be left out. Most jobs in the state pay well. However, their expensive living expenses make it challenging to actually sustain a decent living in New Jersey. It is like New York in a way, probably because of how near it is to The Big Apple. Nevertheless, New Jersey’s employment rates on chemical engineering jobs look too promising to ignore.
