How this index is built
Sources, grades and counts, and what they leave out.
- Evidence grades
- Every employer is listed because of public evidence that it hires people with criminal records. The evidence is graded A to D, and an employer's grade is its strongest piece of evidence. A state or city list counts only in the state it covers.
- Record-safe jobs
- A record-safe job is a live posting that does not ask for a clean record and is not in a role a tracked law bars to people with some records. Most postings say nothing about records, so they count as record-safe unless a law applies.
- Legal bars
- Roles that federal and state laws close to some people with records are tagged with the statute, for example in nursing, schools, child care, banking, commercial driving, airports and armed security. Those jobs are left out of the record-safe count. A tag marks the role, not the person: whether a law applies depends on the offense and how long ago it was.
- Entry level
- An entry-level job asks for one year of experience or less.
- Freshness
- Job counts come from live postings and are refreshed every six hours. Each listing shows the date its evidence was last checked against its source, and evidence older than 12 months is re-checked.
Being listed does not guarantee a job. A grade describes the public evidence about an employer, not a decision on any one application.

Questions
What is a second chance employer?
An employer with public evidence that it hires people with criminal records: a record of past hires, a named place in a reentry hiring program or on a state or city list, a public pledge or hiring policy, or job postings that invite applicants with records. Every employer in this index shows its evidence, the source and the date it was checked.
How are employers graded?
Each employer takes the grade of its strongest piece of evidence. A: a public record shows it has hired people with records. B: a named hiring partner of a government or funded reentry program, or on a state or city second chance list. C: a fair chance pledge, coalition membership or published policy. D: its own postings invite applicants with records. A state or city list counts only in the state it covers.
What is a record-safe job?
A live posting that does not ask for a clean record and is not in a role that a tracked federal or state law closes to some people with records, such as many jobs in nursing, schools, child care, banking, commercial driving, airports and armed security.
How often is the index updated?
Job counts come from live postings and are refreshed every six hours. The counts on this page were refreshed on November 13, 2026. Evidence is re-checked against its source when it is more than 12 months old.
Does being listed mean an employer will hire someone with a record?
No. Being listed does not guarantee a job. A grade describes the public evidence about an employer, not a decision on any one application. Whether a law limits a role depends on the offense and how long ago it was.
Can I print or download the Tennessee list?
Yes. Every state page prints as a handout with the grade legend, the refresh date and the page address on each page, and every page has a free CSV download with the same data.
For corrections, probation and reentry programs
Every state page prints as a handout: the employer list grouped by grade, the grade legend, the date the counts were refreshed and the page address on every page. The index is free to print, copy and share, and each page has a CSV download with the same data.
