3. Illinois
Annual median wage: $65,950
Cost of living: 95.5
Employment: 590
Definitely not skimping in both employment rates and salaries for forensic science technicians, would you not agree that Illinois is such an amazing state to be a professional? What makes the state even better is how low their living expenses are. No more worrying about bills to pay when you actually earn better than the average and have daily living expenses that wouldn’t hurt your pocket that much.
