I think you should only be denied employment based on a crime if the crime in question would be problematic for the job. Like say they got arrested for stealing from a cash register at another job yeah don't hire them as a cashier or any capacity where they are dealing with company money. If they have a history of being violent or aggressive I wouldn't give a spot dealing with the public.

I can't remember what state it's in but there is a bread company that prides itself on hiring felons. Think over 30% of its employees are felons. The owner is a felon. Pretty good bread too. Dave's killer bread. Their white bread is meh but generally I won't eat wheat bread but theirs...theirs is good.

Theres a company in the UK that hires convicts that mostly does key cutting, locksmithing and shoe repairs.
