Are there jobs for convicted felons in ohio?

I would like to know if anyone knows of any assistance to help my friend get a job as a convicted felon in or around the Findlay area.

Thanks

Hi,

Start here: http://www.governmen... And find your local employment office. They should be able to help you.

Also, I've heard that Goodwill and United Way both hire those with felony records.

The answer is no there is'nt ! I have been out of prison for over 5 years now I am married with a child on the way I have a college education and countless experience ranging from automotive repair to construction labor and no one will give me a job that pays enough money to support my family. The government tells me I have served my time and payed my debt to society and I should go out and be a productive member of society but no-one will give me a job doing anything but washing dishes and no-one will pay me more than 7 or 8 dollars an hour. How am I suppose to support my family making minimum wage legally? I CAN'T and I don't know what to do . The only way to get ahead is to either go back to being a criminal or go back to prison so they can take care of me and hope someone will care for my family while I am there.
