15. Minnesota
Annual median salary: $39,700
Cost of living: 101.1
Employment: 10,200
Minnesota offers a salary that is above the national average for construction workers, which quite explains their employment rate that’s down to over 10,000 jobs. Even so, they still have more jobs for construction work than other states. The cost of living does not disappoint either, as it’s just a little bit over the average. You are still able to have some savings when you balance the income with the expenses.
