CMV: Being a felon should not be allowed as a reason to not hire someone.

Allowing an employer to not hire a felon just because they are a felon is not beneficial to society. If a felon is trying to get money to help themselves they should be allowed to and nothing should stop them. An employer should be allowed to ask so they know whether not watch your actions more closely. A felon can have a lower pay than usual (but not lower than minimum wage) to compensate for the additional security. Denying a person work hurts the persons ability to better themselves. If they can't work to make money that forces them to break the law in order to feed themselves and their family. I understand a felon is a liability but that's why the employer is allowed to reduce their pay in order for them to make sure the felon doesn't try anything.

I can see reasons why being a felon could be a legitimate reason not to hire someone. For example, you wouldn't hire a convicted child molester in a job dealing with kids, a person convicted of tax fraud for an accounting position, etc...
