Job help in the Phoenix Metro area

[richieboy]

Does anyone have any info on employers in the Phoenix metro area that hire felons? Not just any job, but good jobs. I have a wife and 2 kids to take care of and need a job bad! I made one mistake and feel like i am a leper when it comes to the job market. I am quite sure you all can understand.

Thanks,
Rich

Take a look at this site www.1stepcloser.net I just found it myself so I don't know alot about it. It's a local company that seems to understand that recidivism is directly linked to unemployment and homelessness. I'm currently trying to find a place the parole office will approve for my boyfriend to be released to but it seems impossible to find a decent place that isn't part of the crime free neighborhood program. I can't afford to buy a house but an approved address is the only thing standing in the way of his early release. Anybody got any suggestions for me? I'll keep you posted on 1 step closer.
