Self employment is an avenue that many people who have background check problems do choose to pursue. If you decide to start a business, contact the Small Business Administration office in your area (look on www.sba.gov to find one) and talk to them about your plans.

it has been very difficult to find any kind of work as an ex offender. I now I will have to work for my self if I will ever want to make any kind of money to suport my self and I don't think I will ever be able to have health insurance.

As the wife of an ex-convict, I was very happy to find this site. My husband has a stable job with a local factory, however; his company has since changed its hiring policies in the five years since he got this position. We worry what would happen if he got laid off; despite six years out of prison with not even a speeding ticket, a very good work history, and supervisory experience it would be incredibly difficult for him to find a comparable position. I cannot begin to count how often I have seen acquaintances return to prison in large part because of an inability to find a job with a living wage, much less a job at all. These people have families and they have children just like everyone else. The perception that a person convicted of a crime deserves whatever roadblocks to a successful and self-sufficient life is not only cruel; it is short-sighted. I am curious how the many Americans who hold this view will react in coming years when the crime rates increase dramatically right along with a population of homeless, jobless ex-cons. Oh---and their children.
