19. Alabama

Cost of living: 91.2
Employment: 180
With 131 hospitals in Alabama and just 180 OB-GYNs, they could still be looking for more. The demand must be high, as their population is said to be growing consistently. Why could anyone resist working in Alabama? Well, aside from preferring to live elsewhere. Their wages might not even reach the average, but when you factor in how much you have to spend on a daily basis, it will still feel like you are paid more than most states. Everything is cheaper here than in Maryland, which pays more to these professionals–and also might be the first time in history that Maryland and Alabama were compared on any level–so why not give it a try?
