PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) -- Arizona was already facing a teacher shortage before the pandemic, but since the start of the school year, more than 750 teachers have called it quits.

More than 40% of those teachers say COVID-19 is the reason they chose to resign or retire.

I worked in Retail for 43 years and am happily retired. If I was in a situation where I would be facing this crisis in the medical, education or retail sectors and could retire even if it was a tad early, I would be gone right away.
