One position they are looking to fill is teachers. Carrie Burkhart with the Oklahoma State Board of Education says, "There is still a great need for teachers, and we expect the pandemic to exacerbate the issue. The full effect of the pandemic, though, may not be felt until after this school year, when many teachers are eligible for retirement and may likely take it." News 9 spoke with Mustang and Oklahoma City Public Schools and right now they say they need teachers, but the need is not yet at a desperate state. Chris Tobler is the Executive Director for Human Resources at Mustang Public Schools. He said, "There is certainly a teacher shortage and the pandemic hasn’t helped recruiting, because due to safety concerns we just don’t feel it necessary to hold an in-person job fair.”
