Expert opinions on the best states for education coordinators

Are there any particularly good places in the United States for education coordinators to find work opportunities?
Jamelyn Tobery-Nystrom
Coordinator of M.Ed. Special Education, Frostburg State University
Special education teachers are needed everywhere. Urban areas have more openings; however, rural areas struggle to find qualified candidates because their number is limited. We are not producing enough teachers in the United States, and we have a real crisis in special education.
