Florida residents with criminal records say they can’t find a job. They are now seeking to have those criminal records expunged in hopes that it will help them find a job.
The unemployment rate in Florida is 11.5 percent, the highest rate since 1975. In 2008, as the recession dawned, more than 14,000 Florida residents had their criminal records sealed or obliterated—twice as many as the year before. However, private companies who have access to the information are still dispersing the information, since they have no legal obligation to expunge the information.
