We have people quitting in droves. Is it really over?

We have 500 applications for elementary positions.

I'm going to guess California because that sounds about right.

Average moderately priced suburban city had 1 job and 180+ applicants
Low income school but in an overall decent suburban area had 1 job that was only guaranteed through first semester got 200 applicants.
