If you are an electrical engineer considering a move, you might want to look into these 10 cities. Once again, California swept the board when it comes to the highest-paying metropolitan areas for electrical engineers, based on data from the “Occupational Employment and Wages, May 2023 Study,” released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). In fact, California represents six out of the ten top cities. A few non-California standouts made the list, however, including Albuquerque, N.M.; Boston, Mass.; Bridgeport, Conn.; and Austin, Texas.
Click through these slides (listed in descending order) to see which cities ranked highest when it comes to compensation for electrical engineers. Keep in mind that these rankings do not take into consideration cost of living.
