    Discrimination Based on Arrest
    My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Missouri

    I read a job ad online and it said that they want to talk to people who haven't been arrested in the last 7 years. Isn't this discrimination? The job is located in Missouri and I live in Missouri.

    Sure it is discrimination. Depending on the type of job, it may be a perfectly valid reason.

    If the job ad includes that notice, then it would run afoul of current EEOC guidelines. I don't see a specific prohibition based on Missouri law, but you can inquire here.
