Where can a convicted felon get a job in oklahoma?

I was convicted in May of 1992 and did 2 years and 8 months in prison. That was 17 years ago. I was released, discharged my time, no parole or probation in January of 1995. I have went from job to job over the years, but I am now approaching the age of...

44 and I am looking for long term employment with a company that I can retire with and who offers benefits. As of now, I work for a small one office company who unfortunately due to the economy has cut back hours, and who also does not offer any benefits. I was wondering does anyone know of any list of second chance employers who will hire an ex-felon from so long back in the state of Oklahoma? I have already tried the local government agencies, and staffing services and as soon as they find out that I have a felony conviction they start giving me the run around and I can never get any straight answers from them.

I've been looking for a REAL job since March of this year. In 1999 I got charged with trying to obtain controlled and dangerous substance, which were loritabs(that weren't even for me) anyway, that is a felony. I went back to school and achieved my associates in July 2009, which is in business administration , and have a plethora of knowledge of computer architecture, repair, networking, customer service and several other attributes that could be transformed into productive efforts for the right company. And I realize we are in a recession, but I don't get any type of callbacks, denial letters or other correspondence. This has been very discouraging, and brought my morale and spirit down, and has started to effect my attitude at home towards my family. Does anyone have suggestions?
