Good question! Your ease in getting a job when you have a record may depend on your location. Some states and cities have passed laws to "ban the box" that asks applicants whether they've been convicted of a felony, however not all have. To find out which states currently have laws in place to protect applicants from discrimination based on their past I would check out this article that includes a map of all states that have "banned the box."
I would also check out Jobcase's second chances resource center for more information that may help you find resources around this issue. Wishing you all the best of luck in your job search!
