Here's a different take on the Bureau of Labor Statistics
Employment and Wage estimates page. I've downloaded all the data and
ranked states (for every occupation with at least 100 workers).
You can use the drop-down menus to filter by state or by occupation.
Occupation Selected: Extruding and forming machine setters, operators, and tenders, synthetic and glass fibers
