Best Jobs for Ex-Offenders

From the Publisher: Ex-offenders have difficulty finding stable jobs that lead to promising futures. Often young, inexperienced, unskilled, and living in a world of illusions, they lack adequate knowledge about opportunities appropriate for their red flag backgrounds. Once released into the free world, many stumble from one low-paying and insecure job to another, unable to find satisfying and rewarding work as well as keep a job for long. Frequently unemployed, angry, and failing to adequately support themselves, they soon get into trouble that leads them back into prisons and jails. Indeed, within three years, nearly 70 percent of ex-offenders become repeat offenders. Not surprisingly, much of today's high recidivism rate directly relates to the issue of ex-offender employability.
