Appreciate the AMA. Although quick note, it's actually not illegal to discriminate based on felony, or even misdemeanor status.

It's common and legal to not hire someone with a background of shoplifting for a retail position, drug dealing to work in a pharmacy, or child abuse to work at a school or daycare.

Some states and municipalities don't run a background check until after they've interviewed you and only then consider if your background is related to the type of work you will be doing.

But in at-will employment states at least, they can run a background check on a prospective employee, and just say "they're a felon, so I assume they are a bad person, and I don't want to hire them" and that is completely legal.
