This would just make the hiring process more expensive for employers because they can ask it later.

“Twenty-seven senators want President Obama to block federal agencies and contractors from asking job applicants about prior criminal convictions.”
Ban all the boxes. Don’t think it is important that you answer whether you are white or black, handicapped or not, man or woman, etc.
Funny thing though, no where have I seen anything on a job application asking whether I was gay or not. Interesting.

If any President has the power to order this change — then the President was WAY TOO MUCH power.

I agree, of course the in-your-face 0bama takes pleasure in these type actions.

Pls just disregard the rapists and thieves & the drug dealers past, as they try to rebuild their lives.

Isn’t it probably pretty easy in today’s day and age to do a background search without big brother knowing you did it?

“Joe Manchin (W.Va.)” I am a little surprised that he is on the list but it does further define him. Democrats lowering the standards once again.
To: jazusamo
Fine with me. I’ll simply ask them in the interview. Or...put a new ‘box’ on the application; Have you ever been arrested and jailed? If yes, specify.

To: jazusamo
If the federal government can ask you on a Form 4473 that question and about a dozen others then a candidate for office requiring Senate concurrence should damn well have to.

26 Democrats and presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders... I can see why they might be a little nervous about interviewing for a job after a felony conviction...

If it will cripple the U.S. in any way, he will do it.

“Ban the box,” including job applications at daycares? Whether a job applicant has served time for child molestation is now going to be protected info?

The law wouldn’t have any “teeth”, that’s not it’s purpose, it’s designed to make liberals “feel good”.
