About teaching - there are many history candidates and not enough history teacher jobs here in MA. Try to secure a job before moving here. There is a good chance you will have to sub for awhile if you don’t know anyone on a hiring committee for a position and aren’t one of the lucky ones.

Math, Science, SpED, and ESL have no problem getting jobs fairly quickly.

English, History/Social Studies, and electives (gym, art, etc) have a hard time getting jobs here with the number of potential candidates getting into the 100s per job posting.

Also, 99% of school hiring is on SchoolSpring. Just an FYI for OP.

But yes. As a history teacher in Massachusetts the market is beyond saturated.
