It is often very difficult for felons and ex-offenders to get jobs once they are released. The key to staying free and enjoying life is to find steady employment. The sooner they are able to get jobs, the greater are their chances of not going back to prison. There will be a greater opportunity for success when ex-offenders and felons apply to companies that have history of hiring those with criminal backgrounds.
Below is a list of national companies that have hiring practices which do not necessarily exclude ex-offenders and felons.

This is quite a list. Each of these companies has hiring practices that are favorable to ex-offenders and felons. Don't think just because you are a felon, you will be hired. The nature of the conviction will always be considered and you will have to compete for available jobs.

I noticed on this list of "great" companies that the United States federal, state and county authorities are absent. I find that odd because the worst terrorists, fraudsters and tax evaders function and manipulate our social engineering to serve oligarchies - both US and foreign based cartels.
I think the truth about ex-felons and jobs are horrible outcomes for most. A positive solution would be for the SBA to offer ex-felons a 100% opportunity for real funding after finishing a startup camp (90 day program). I think ex-felons funded by the government is better than the cost of locking up repeat offenders because they can't get a job.
We live in very troubled times. It's Jim Crowesque for the ex-felon... and this will probably last for decades until the ex-felon minority becomes a competing majority.
I have applied to SEVERAL of the companies listed above, and have been rejected by MANY of them due to my felony history (in excess of 10 years ago) ...... the thing about this is that MOST companies CLAIM to hire ex-felons due to the 'possibility of discriminating against them', and yet actually hire VERY few KNOWN ex-felons! I have TRIED every way imaginable to find employment HONESTLY, and have had almost NO SUCCESS! In Pennsylvania, there USED to be a 7-10 year limit on the felony conviction questions while applying for employment. The question use to be posed in a way that an ex-felon could have answered the question HONESTLY to the negative IF their conviction was in excess of the time asked on the application. (in the past 7 years have you been convicted?) Now the question is posed in a way to disallow an ex-felon from EVER being able to HONESTLY answer the question to the negative (have you EVER been convicted?)In essence, the screening process against hiring convicted felons is conducted NOT through the BACKGROUND checks BUT through the affirmative answers to the CONVICTION QUESTION on the application itself. Those applying for the job, and answering to the affirmative the conviction question, are in essence doing their own background check...... WHAT WOULD BE INTERESTING IS KNOWING EXACTLY HOW MANY KNOWN EX-FELONS THESE COMPANIES WHO CLAIM TO HIRE THEM ACTUALLY HAVE CURRENTLY EMPLOYED?? It is easy to say 'we hire them' without having to actually produce them...... justmythots!! Been there, done that, and lost hope a long time ago!!
