In general, jobs are harder to get in times of economic recession because many businesses cut back operations  However, any future recessions in Vargonia will probably not reduce the availability of teaching jobs at government-funded schools
This is because Vargonia has just introduced a legal requirement that education in government-funded schools be available, free of charge, to all Vargonian children regardless of the state of the economy, and that current student-teacher ratios not be exceeded
Teachers in Vargonia's government-funded schools are well paid relative to teachers in most privately funded schools in Vargonia, many of which rely heavily on part-time teachers
