Minnesota has really impressive employment rates for epidemiologists, more especially when you take the first few states we have talked about in consideration. They have more job opportunities and also have wages nearer to the national average. Their living expenses sure are not as affordable as Alabama and Missouri, but it is not very far from the average, so all is well.
