Haha yeah there is the cold... and the snow (we live in the so called snow belt).
In general, the job situation varies greatly from place to place - greatly. I got a job in teaching in a city where at the time when there were not a lot of jobs in teaching... I think I was lucky. In Toronto apparently there are tonnes of jobs in teaching - but we didn't want to move to TO (cost of living is too high).
I also had to have my credentials assessed, which took 9 months (and I think a lot of professions have to do this), so I couldn't teach right away and had to take a crappy office job, filling in for someone on maternity leave... um, which is 52 weeks paid my the government (you have to love that).
