Venting about Unemployed Teachers

Isn't it ironic that there are claims for the need of new teachers, but there are too many qualified teachers that are unemployed? Oh-I'm not just writing about in Illinois, but the U.S. I read an article of another teacher venting her frustrations about being an unemployed teacher in New York. Even though there was an uncanny "Need for Teachers". This teacher and other teachers she knew were experiencing the same frustrations that I have in Illinois. How could this be happening in another state? If there is a need, why aren't they hiring? If you are a teacher or know of a teacher with the same concerns, please vent now!
