Hi!

To find companies hiring felons in your area, go to http://www.governmentjobs.com and find your local employment office.

They should be able to put you on the right track to finding a job. I've also heard that United Way and the Salvation Army will employ those with felony records.

Good luck!

Hey,
I am a drug felon too. I just kept putting in apps until somebody hired me. It is really really hard, but don't give up somebody will hire you eventually...GOOD LUCK!!!

There are no good options or good jobs for felons in the US unless you find a job as a freelance,on the Net.set up your own small business,set up yard sale,sell on ebay or things of that nature.

All jobs available for felon pay less that 8 bucks.

If you're in MN,Canada is your best option,Europe and Latin America are also good alternatives.
