Higher employment rates and lower cost of living rates could be thanked as to why Tennessee made it this far on the list of best states for forensic science technicians. It has always been known as one of America’s cheapest states to live in, probably because of all the homophobia, I mean, great country music venues! It is also among families’ best bets because of the low cost of living expenses. It’s so cheap even wages way below the average would feel so much more when you live in Tennessee.
