That doesn't answer the point raised by the parent comment. If I need programmers, and I'm only willing to pay minimum wage, then only one or two show up, is there a programmer shortage? There's plenty of programmers available, just not at minimum wage. The same applies to the school district example. The shortage is because they're not willing to raise wages.
