23. Kentucky
Annual median wage: $83,990
Cost of living: 90.8
Employment: 470
While Kentucky’s annual median income is a tad lower than the national average, the sustainable ability for chemical engineers, along with all other Kentuckians to live, in the state still make it one of the best ones to bag a chemical engineering job. Their cost of living rate is so low, that it can still sustain the lowest wages. Also, they have almost 500 chemical engineers in the state, which shows how conducive the state is for this type of profession.
