Wow - failed drug tests and felony records. What % of the population does that keep from employment?
Not to mention turnover (I assume due to not sticking with the job, although being fired for cause must certainly play a part).
8.6% - 6.5% of adult non-blacks and 25% of adult blacks. Do you still think it doesn't have an impact? It represents instant disqualification for almost any employer. About one of 11 people in America are affected. It's a huge deal.
How do you think white America would feel if one in four people were permanently disqualified from gainful employment? Pretty heavy s**t...
