I think the reason why there is a shortage of teachers is due to the lack of pay that big cities have. You see how on the graph chart they're not a lot of positions filled in the non-rural areas. Schools in small towns tend to pay more money to the teachers and have more benefits because they are small. The big city schools have more students than smaller towns and means that they will need more teachers.
