Virginia’s wages for forensic science technicians prove to be higher than the average. As if that isn’t enough to attract them and other professionals to move in Virginia and look for a job there, they also have really good employment rates for them. What’s even better is that the state’s living expenses are just right–not too cheap but fortunately not too expensive as well.
