Data shows that access to jobs for returning citizens reduces recidivism by over 50%. But the unemployment rate for returning citizens surpasses the national rate at the height of the Great Depression. That's why we're grateful to uplift Honest Jobs, the nation's largest second-chance job search site. When returning citizens have access to meaningful employment, they’re better equipped to build stable lives, contribute positively to society, and break the cycle of recidivism. Thank you Honest Jobs for your commitment to returning citizens.

People with violent convictions in their background typically face significantly more difficulty finding employment than people with most other types of convictions. Employers have traditionally seen this population as high-risk and fear reoffenses, locking a huge segment of willing workers out of the workforce. The Prison Policy Initiative just released its 2024 "Mass Incarceration: The Whole Pie 2024" report and found that people with violent offenses are the LEAST likely to reoffend by a significant margin. Honest Jobs encourages all employers to keep this in mind when considering a candidate with a violent offense before automatically rejecting them due to their background.
