EngineerJobs.com recently came out with a list of the best U.S. states to find an engineering job. 

Massachusetts was the top state, with 3.78 engineering jobs per 1000 people, 24,772 average quarterly jobs, and annual engineering jobs growth of 16.74%. That's not a huge surprise: Massachusetts ranks high for technology and innovation, and is one of the top three medical device hubs in the United States.

There were also some unexpected results, though, as related by Qmed's sister media site Design News. 

Delaware and New Hampshire, for example, beat Ohio and Texas.

Check out Design News' full slideshow of the results.
