    Unhappy My Husband And Some Poor Choices

    My question involves a background check in the State of: Ohio

    My husband got involved with drugs when he was 20. (He is 38 now) He was convicted of theft at that age and was given 6-25 years. He had parole then would get out and go back after committing a crime because of his addiction. He finally got everything together and finished up all his legal problems and got clean. He has been out of the legal system for 2 years and clean from drugs for 3. He has applied for over 200 jobs and 90% turned him down because of his record.

    Is there any thing he can do to become employable again? Isn't this discrimination? Even the people who have on the application that your record won't bar you from employment, he has been told that it does. His record is not expungable. We are struggling financially and really need some advice about what he can do legally to allow him to be employable.

    Discrimination applies to those who belong to a "protected class" Convicts are not part of any protected class sorry

    He will just have to keep applying until someone will take a chance on him. Did he apply to any small employers - there *might* be more of a chance with them. (ie small family business) Employers do not have to hire him with his record.

    add info: You indicated 90% of the jobs he applied for he was turned down - what about the other 10% -- why was he not able to get a job with them or keep a job with them?

    Where is he applying also? Manufacters tend to be more respective to criminal backgrounds than do retailers. From what I have seen anyways
