Many Americans say they’re comfortable doing business with non-violent ex-cons

Many Americans say they’re ready to do business with companies giving their employees another shot at a law-abiding life after they’ve been convicted of a non-violent crime.

More than half of the 78% of customers who said they were comfortable doing business with non-violent ex-cons also noted they supported the thinking behind companies hiring them, Alonso said. The same discomfort applied when people were asked how they’d feel working for a company that hired individuals with violent crimes: 33% said they were comfortable, while 74% said they would be comfortable with co-workers who had non-violent records.Employers also report positive perceptions of the quality of workers with a criminal history.

Late last year, federal lawmakers and President Donald Trump gave a brief glimmer of bipartisanship by passing and enacting the First Step Act, which focuses in part on better reintegrating men and women after they’ve served their time. A range of liberal-leaning and conservative-leaning groups, including the Charles Koch Institute, banded together to push for passage.

By the end of January, there were 7.6 million job openings, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Labor. There have been more openings than job seekers for 11 months, Acosta said. New York City is one of the places with rules against employment discrimination based on criminal record. There’s been over 550 complaints filed with the city’s Human Rights Commission since the city’s Fair Chance Act was enacted in October 2015, and the number has climbed over the years. In 2015, residents filed 102 complaints. In 2018, the number was 158.

I follow POTUS ... does that count?

It's really not a big deal when you're dealing with people with non-violent felonies, and getting them into the work force is a great way to reduce recidivism. Besides, a lot of those non-violent offenses are for drug dealing, so hire them in sales! ;)

If we can elect them we can surely do business with them 👍🏽😘

Good, they need to be able to live, work and participate in society. There debt has been paid. We need to stop extending their debt. Life is too short. They need a chance.
