Growth Outlook:
Employment of high school teachers in the United States is projected to decline by 2% from 2024 to 2034, which is slower than the average for all occupations. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, this slight decrease is driven by anticipated declines in public school student enrollment. However, demand remains steady for educators in specific subject areas like STEM and special education. Despite the decline, approximately 70,000 job openings are expected annually, primarily to replace teachers who retire or transfer to other careers.
