Look at any university campus across the country. Teaching degrees are among the most popular, whether in elementary or secondary education, special education, or specific subjects like math or English. While rarely an undermanned occupation, trends vary from balanced (an even ratio of employment positions available to qualified applicants) to overmanned, all too frequently tending towards the latter. State budget reductions and reduced contributions to private schools tip the scales even further.

Many Teaching Positions Coming Open

Despite all this, there is hope for the thousands of college students currently majoring in some form of education. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupational Outlook Handbook, “Most [teaching] job openings will result from the need to replace the large number of teachers who are expected to retire over the 2008–18 period.” Continual overmanning in past years has brought a large portion of educators to retirement at one time, leaving extensive potential openings for newcomers. The BLS also states that many new teachers, especially those in poorer, urban areas, leave the profession for better employment, creating yet more openings.
