Employers can be held legally responsible for the actions of their employees in certain circumstances, and hiring a ex-felon (when you knew, or could have known) doesn't look good to a jury. I think this sucks. Since graduation I've never been asked if I'm a felon or been arrested, so it wouldn't matter to me, but for lots of the working class, "no felons" is a common screening technique for employers, and it makes it really hard for people who have done their time to society to re-integrate.
