- mason240 12y agoIn fact it's actually illegal in several states (MN is one) to ask about it on job applications.
- jpetersonmn 12y agoI'm from MN and every job application I've ever filled out in my life asked if I was a convicted felon. Including the job I'm at now.
- mason240 12y agoIt is a new law that just passed last year, and I'm not sure if it has taken effect yet.
- jpetersonmn 12y agoI just read up on that, and looks like they did just pass a law that they can't ask you on the initial application, but then can weed you out later. IMO that's a horrible law that will end up costing businesses a lot of money, and not help felons get a job at all. If I run a business and I have a policy of not hiring felons, I should be able to weed them out in the initial application phase.
