First let me start by saying that there is no best city or state to work in. It all depends on what you are looking for in life. If you like a country lifestyle you probably should not live in Los Angeles and if you don't like heat avoid El Paso.
Living in a more populated area will likely lead to more opportunities, higher pay, and a more professional work environment. Living in a less populated area will likely mean fewer opportunities, lower pay but a better chance of starting/owning your own business.
Potentially, the better question is who you should want to work for. As you might expect large companies and government agencies are more likely to offer better pay and a chance to grow your skills. Also, large organizations commonly offer some opportunity for mobility.
