Expert opinions on the best states for clinical statistical programmers

Are there any particularly good places in the United States for clinical statistical programmers to find work opportunities?
Anthony Bosman Ph.D.
Assistant Professor of Mathematics, Andrews University
The increasingly decentralized office and remote-friendly nature of many jobs, particularly in the knowledge sector, should open up more opportunities for graduates to compete for jobs across the country and beyond. Applicants, therefore, shouldn't restrict their search to a narrow, local region.
