To the Editor:

This letter is in response to your front-page article about work visas and the "shortage" of workers in the Straits area. I am sure I am not alone in seeking employment in this area, and have been doing so for quite some time. I am able to work full or part time, year-around.

My resume has been on my own Web site and I have visited several businesses in person. I check your paper's help wanted section weekly and I am also on the Michigan Works! registry. In these economic times, I would hope that everyone who needs and desires employment would be afforded every opportunity available in our community. I would like to encourage employers to take a look at the Michigan Works! Web site; hopefully they will find qualified employees to meet their needs.
