No #JOLTS data on teachers, specifically. The "State and local government education" category reported in JOLTS is probably just under half K-12 teachers, if the CPS is any guide.

But the #NCES does have new data out today on teacher shortages consistent with your observations. Here's the write-up at the Washington Post.

And a colleague and I also have a new @epi report out today on teacher shortages. https://www.epi.org/publication/shortage-of-teachers/

#Education Researchers & #Academics: Please do your jobs. National Center for Education Statistics (#NCES) is your go-to source for demographic info about #homeschoolers. #SecularHomeschoolers know - Christian families are NOT the majority in the homeschool community. Stop pushing that false narrative.

The real problem with this article, however, is that non-homeschooling researchers have now formally defined #unschooling for our educational community. /2
