initiative calls on CEOs, corporate executives and association leaders to pledge to consider qualified individuals with criminal histories for jobs at their organizations.
Congress took the first step in December. Now it's time for business leaders to take the next step to help the formerly incarcerated overcome a significant challenge to re-entering their communities. Bringing adults with criminal records into the workforce simply makes economic sense. Nearly $87 billion in GDP is lost each year by excluding these individuals from the job market. Meanwhile, the U.S. is experiencing ultra-low unemployment rates, 10,000 workers are retiring from the workforce every day, and there is a growing deficit of skilled workers to fill in-demand jobs.
When people with criminal histories have gainful employment, it breaks the cycle of prison and poverty, positively affecting an ecosystem of families, employers, communities, and society. That's why we are urging companies to rethink their practices about hiring candidates with criminal backgrounds and to weigh the considerable benefits.
