Recession means fewer teachers are being hired in Clark County, Nev.

From The Las Vegas Sun: During the heady growth years just a few years ago, more than 2,700 new teachers would be welcomed into the ranks of the Clark County (Nev.) School District each summer. This year, the district expects to hire 630 new teachers by the start of the school year, Aug. 24 — about a third of the number hired a year ago.
