Pennsylvania’s wages almost always go past the national average for most occupations, if not all. They are also known to have cost of living rates that are mostly priced fair. This state had its share of epidemics and chronic diseases, mostly viral infections, as once published in an article by Eco Watch. There might not be so many jobs available, but the wages they offer look really enticing, don’t they? Pennsylvania’s annual salaries do not make it to the average, although they still look great after you factor in their living expenses.
