How hard is it to get a college educated job with a misdemeanor on your record?
Yes, have there been any studies done on the employment rates of those with misdemeanors on their record?
Yes, there have been studies that show individuals with criminal records, including misdemeanors, face lower employment rates compared to those without criminal records. A study by the Society of Human Resource Management found that 80% of surveyed HR professionals admitted to discriminating against individuals with criminal records, based on concerns for workplace safety and liability. However, there are programs and initiatives aimed at reducing this stigma and providing second chances to those with criminal records. Would you like more information on these programs?
