18. Florida
Annual median wage: $81,120
Cost of living: 99
Employment: 200
Florida’s cost of living rates that hang tight on the national average is what drives people to move there, apart from the amazing beaches and laidback lifestyle. The paycheck they offer to economists does not disappoint since their living expenses are just right for the state. Their great employment rate for these professionals is also worth noting, considering the low demand for them.
