The American education system is one in which fewer minorities chose to join the profession according to statistical data. Due to an overwhelming shortage of teachers, school districts are beginning to examine their own teaching ranks and asking what they could do differently in their recruitment and retention of teachers. There are such a disproportional number of minority, Hispanic, teachers in Ohio, questions need to be asked that focus on what can be done to retain and recruit more minorities into the field of education. There is an obstacle to achieving this, which is a lack of minority, Hispanic, teachers in the field. Those minority, Hispanic, teachers who do enter the profession often leave early in their careers or come to the profession later in life. The intent of this quantitative study is to determine factors influencing the job satisfaction of Hispanic teachers in Ohio, and if those factors impact the decisions to remain or leave the field of teaching. The research addresses the primary research question, the secondary research questions, and attempted to reject or confirm the null hypothesizes at .05 confidence level, listed: Based on the data collected via the TMS teachers' ratings on independent variables such as monetary, instructional, environmental, and interpersonal factors were examined to analyze if there was a relationship between the dependent variables: job satisfaction and the decision to remain or leave the teaching profession. This was done via SPSS through a bivariate correlation coefficient. The core of the research findings is that Hispanic teachers in Ohio must feel as though they are wanted in the profession, be it through factors in the workplace, district policies, and/or relationships forged in the workplace. At a fundamental level, being appreciated makes people feel energized and pushes them to perform at their best. One could conclude that Hispanic teachers felt motivated at a significant level by their work as an educator they were more inclined to remain in the profession.
