According to Government Accountability Office (GAO) and recent news reports, more than three quarters of U.S. states are experiencing a teacher shortage in the wake of the pandemic. According to a GAO report published June 2022, public education lost an estimated 7% of its total teaching population (233,000 instructors) between 2019 and 2021.
