What cities are best for new teachers?

I recently decided to change my major from computer science to early childhood education (I would like to be a 2nd grade teacher). My question is, what cities currently have the highest demand? I lived in Toledo until very recently, and I can tell you, it is a no-man's land for teachers.

5. Teaching is any town in Alaska pays pretty well... (only because people don't want to teach in Alaska)
6. your got a courage to shift your career, parents are your target to set your plan on not cities or countries,you should survey on the educational culture in your destination, you should believe that you are engineering children liefs not buildings, because of you and your believe education is a moral message, you are participating how to balance the globe, maintain human behavior,you will see in near future , your children ENGINEERS,DOCTORS,TEACHERS.and a big reward from GOD/ALLAH.
7. There is high demand in the South West. Arizona, Texas (is always hiring), look for places that are growing. Some places will even pay incentives for teachers to move to their area. ie. moving costs, 1st months rent etc. If your State has a job fair for teachers go and check out which States have the highest demand. When I went it was Texas and Arizona. My best friend got a job in Glendale, AZ with only a phone interview! She called me and said that they still needed 3 teachers in their building and like 44 in the district and that they would hire anyone with a teaching cert. There are some disadvantages in working for a school district that is growing like this though. You may not be supplied with adequate teaching resources due to the quick growth and there is often a high turn over rate in administration.
8. In terms of finding a job, almost any of the large urban districts have openings at almost any time, and small rural schools usually have turnover, as well. In terms of working conditions, class size, etc. the wealthier suburban districts are usually more desirable, but will usually require experience. I'd pick a city in which you'd love to live and try the large district first. You might find that you love working with these kids who really need you. If the situation is too frustrating, at least you'll have the experience on your resume to move "up" to another situation.
