The descriptive survey research method was used. Four hundred teachers were randomly selected to participate in the study from Ijebu-North and Ijebu-Ode Local Government Areas respectively. The researcher designed and validated Teachers’ Job Satisfaction Questionnaire (TEJOSQ) was the only instrument used for data collection. The descriptive statistics, t-test of significance, analysis of variance and post-hoc analysis were used to analyze the data collected for the study. The outcomes of the study revealed that majority of the teachers are presently satisfied with their teaching job and that the teachers differed significantly by gender, age group and qualification in their levels of job satisfaction.
