Certification Map—a website for those looking to break into teaching—posted their list of the top ten cities for young teachers. I couldn’t help but notice that New York City was conspicuously missing from the list.
The list combines factors that would be important to any young adult beginning a career in teaching. We took many variables into account during this search including good cities for singles, low unemployment, job growth, living costs, proximity to fun activities, good school systems, average teacher salary, and low crime rates. What we came up with was a list that includes three college towns, two of the largest cities in the country, and a few of the fastest growing areas in the country. The cities come from nine different states (well, technically eight) and span an area that stretches from Rhode Island to New Mexico.
