If you thought Missouri had an ideal income-expenses balance, you haven’t seen Indiana’s statistics. The wages offered to construction workers is higher than the average. When you factor in how much they spend on their living expenses, they end up with more than enough to save and spend because of their very low cost of living rates. How’s that for a state having over 15,000 jobs in this industry?
