It's hard to find a job. Even more so if you have a criminal record. So what to do - try to get your record 'expunged' - try to wipe the slate clean. The Wall Street Journal reports that states are cleaning records at a rate of 33-50 percent higher than the year before.
Don't worry, we're talking ex-cons, petty theft (or not so petty), minor drug infractions, bar fights, that kind of thing, not violent criminals. And many of the crimes happened when the person was young, carefree and careless, like the guy who was rolling a joint as a teen and bumped into an undercover cop or the guy who threatened two other bar patrons...WITH A HAIRBRUSH.
