Yes and no.
There are fewer jobs in the higher status suburbs, but you will find good prospects in the Springfield Public Schools (where my spouse teaches). Springfield schools aren't as bad as their reputation; and the suburban schools aren't as good as their reputation.
Springfield is an inner-city school system, not without city problems. But, they have a lot of innovative programs and are a leader in in-house teacher training & development, if you need something for MA certification, or want administrator training.
If you have middle/high school certification in math, science or sped, you're golden in Mass.
Generally, you need a masters, Mass certification in elementary, and preferably full professional status. You can easily find the SPS website by searching, with online applications and human resources info.
