3:41 am
23-year teachers like her here as long as they've been. but right now they're struggling to fill 100 vacancies. that's how many people they need to teach classes. and it doesn't look like they'll meet that deadline by next week. so they're going to plan b. >> it's not just in florida. the shortage is nationwide. >> reporter: as superintendent of schools in polk county, florida jacqueline byrd needs every qualified teacher she can get to manage the 104,000 students she has in her district. but they are going to be short this year about 100 teach years when school starts next week. >> you look at our generations now, younger generations, they're choosing other areas to go into besides education. >> reporter: around the country between 2009 and 2014 teacher education enrollments dropped 35%. >> we've been watching it but we can no longer sit on the sidelines and just watch it. we've got to begin trying to do something. >> reporter: so byrd's take a workg thtategeentional approach.

3:43 am
here, but then we have to work to retain them in their classrooms so that we don't have this constant every year churn. >> reporter: mary ann was showing me the teacher pay sxej that an entry-level teacher here in polk county makes about 41,000. and if they stay for 10 years they only get about a $4,000 raise. not much, right? but as miss lee said, when you put it in perspective, when she started 23 years ago, she was making 23,000. despite president trumption efforts to promote the coal and oil industries the fastest growing careers in the country are in renewable energy. there's a big call right now for technicians who work on solar panels and wind turbines. and believe it or not, most of the wind industry jobs are in texas. the lone star state has nearly twice as many wind turbines as any other state in the nation.

3:47 am

3:53 am
actually been patented by heinz, the result of years of research and development. and after those 4707s are picked, they become the responsibility of hector osorno, tomato ketchup master. really. that's his title. and he knows the secret recipe. have they told you what's in the spices? >> yes. >> so they trust you with that information? >> yes. >> but you can't tell me? >> no. >> reporter: osorno is one of only seven ketchup masters at heinz. >> and sometimes what we do is just check. >> reporter: charged with maintaining the taste, color, and consistency of all 650 million bottles sold each year. >> oh. wow. can i try it? >> yeah. >> i'm going to just do this. >> oh, okay. >> it's good. >> it is. >> reporter: but one place his ketchup mastery won't be
