According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, job prospects for preschool, kindergarten, and elementary teachers are expected to grow about as fast as the average for all occupations.
The best job prospects are for teachers in less desirable urban areas or in rural school districts. Most job openings will result from the need to replace the large number of teachers who are expected to retire in the next 10 years.
