Some occupations can be simultaneously in short supply and in surplus.
This has been the case with teachers for 30 years. In terms of material
need, there has been a desperate shortage of teachers. In terms of the
number schoolboards (ultimately, the ruling class) is willing to hire
(in terms of the educational services it is willing to offer), they have
been in oversupply. In terms of health needs, we are desperately short
of nurses. In terms of the health care the rulers are willing to offer
us, there is a plentiful supply of nurses.

This is off the top of my head. Comment?
