When people are put in a jail cell, they will no longer have the same rights as other people in the United States., whether they are let out of jail or not. This will cause them to fail at finding jobs when they get out of jail, causing the U.S. Economy $57 to $65 billion yearly in economic output. The section that is boxed in about having a past criminal record is damaging a lot of people's chances at getting jobs, and the United States economy too. If the box and banned, then the chance of people getting a job will be more equal, as oppose to, the past criminal history box remaining. It will help to stop employers from judging people because of their past and hire them because they can do the job they are applying for.
Any business that signs this petition agrees that "ex-cons" should not be discriminated against because of their past history.
