“#Jamie Dimon forms coalition that aims to hire ex-cons<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re struggling to find work because you\u2019re an ex-con, try hitting up Jamie Dimon.<\/p>\n

The hard-charging chief executive of JPMorgan Chase said this week he is helping launch and co-chair the Second Chance Business Coalition, a group that aims to expand hiring of former criminals.<\/p>\n

\u201cBusiness has an important role to play in making it easier for people with criminal backgrounds to get back on their feet,\u201d Dimon said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Dimon and his co-chair Craig Arnold, Chairman and CEO of power management company Eaton, said Monday they have enlisted close to 30 blue chip companies including AT&T, Bank of America, General<\/a> Motors, McDonalds, Microsoft, Verizon, Walmart and Visa to join the coalition.<\/p>\n

The corporations, which represent a combined $9.8 trillion market cap, have committed to helping former criminals, partly by sharing resources and advice. Between 70 million and 100 million US adults have a criminal record, according to the Sentencing Project, a nonprofit group. <\/p>\n

\u201cA felony conviction may as well be a life sentence when it comes to reentering the workforce,\u201d Eaton\u2019s Arnold said in a video announcing the Second Chance program. \u201cAnother hard truth is that the criminal justice system in the US disproportionately affects people of color,\u201d added Arnold, who is African-American.<\/p>\n

A criminal record slashes the chances of a callback or job offer by almost 50 percent, with black candidates twice as likely to be penalized\u00a0for past infractions, according to a 2009 study<\/a>\u00a0published\u00a0in the Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social<\/a> Science<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dimon has previously said that ex-felons often \u201care the most loyal and hardworking \u2026 just people who made a mistake.\u201d In 2019, JPMorgan stopped asking potential employees if they had a criminal record. Since 2018, the bank says about 10 percent of its new hires have had a criminal history. <\/p>\n

For Dimon, a longtime champion of criminal justice reform, this move may represent a way for him to reclaim his voice in political matters. Recently, he has been noticeably absent from the ranks of CEOs calling for an end to state ID voting laws.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
