Employment rates in chemical engineering jobs are not really very high, so Arizona’s employment statistics should not dampen your spirit. We have already tackled that above, how chemical engineering jobs have very slow job growth as compared to others. Nevertheless, Arizona’s low cost of living greatly compliments its annual median wage. A salary of over $100,000 could already go a very long way in The Grand Canyon State.
