Reader Feedback from Last Poll: Is there a shortage of workers?

94% said no, 6% said yes.

"There are many persons in the area of WV where we live that are unemployed and seriously searching for a job . . . Many businesses have closed or downsized in our county and most of the surrounding ones. There are many highly qualified people here who would love to work!"

"There is barely enough jobs for highly skilled Americans. They just want them to get visas and come here because they are cheap labor."

"I am for stopping illegal and limiting legal immigration. But American education system is messed up. I am a professor myself, from India - an immigrant. And I say this without a bias: American students lack seriousness and dedication when comes to education."

"With Maryland being a sanctuary state it is tough finding a job especially in construction! Hopefully O'Malley will loose his position as Governor and we can start eliminating some of the illegal competition! "

"Buffalo area and Niagara Falls, NY were huge industrial centers. The draw used to be cheap power but that was taken away and replaced with high taxes. Now if you can find a job it will be low pay service oriented and certainly nothing to raise a family on or build a career on. Plenty of farm and construction jobs if you don't mind competing with the illegals."

"Unemployment estimated at 20% for native high-tech workers. . . What businesses really mean: "There is a shortage of experienced and available US engineering talent willing to work for entry-level salaries." "
