Social Studies Teacher
Teaching social studies is one option for the social science major. Most states require certification of teachers within the broader category of “social studies” rather than certification in just one subject like history or geography.

A major effect of recession is that of unemployment and as per the latest statistics by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, both the number of unemployed persons (10.3 million) and the unemployment rate (6.7 percent) has continued to increase in November. After the recession started in December 2007, the number of unemployed persons increased by 2.7 million, and the unemployment rate rose by 1.7 percentage points.
