• Cori Reform Still Allows Private Background Checks

In 1998, Hawaii became the first state to forbid most employers from asking about convictions on applications. That state's law also prohibits the consideration of criminal records "until after the prospective employee has received a conditional offer of employment" that an employer can withdraw if the convictions have a "rational relationship" to a job's duties. The idea behind the reform is getting the potential employee in the door . . . preventing an employer from automatically excluding an applicant because he has a criminal record," Harris added. "The hope, the thinking behind the law is that an employer won't do a CORI search unless he's interested in the potential employee, and if he initiates a CORI search, he'll discuss the finding with the potential employee. At any rate, th...

Change of county leadership is justified Outgoing Democratic County Executive Dennis McNerney recently authorized appointments of outgoing politicians to jobs anywhere possible under the county's jurisdiction. It is extremely unfair that these politicians are given a safe-landing parachute. While they search for their next career position, they can keep the meter running on their pensions. If these jobs that are being filled were absolutely necessary, why weren't they announced as available? This would have been an offer of employment to the great number of unemployed residents in our county. There are certainly an abundance of unemployed citizens who deserve a chance at these jobs.

• Hispanic Workers and Employer Sponsored Health Insurance

Hispanic workers are particularly disadvantaged with respect to access to employer based health insurance. Low levels of education and correspondingly low earnings as well as language difficulties contribute to the limited access that Hispanic workers have to employer-sponsored health insurance. At the same time, Hispanic workers are often more stably employed than their non-Hispanic counterparts. This paper compares the impact of employment, earnings and demographic characteristics on the probability of receiving an offer of employment based health insurance by Hispanic and non-Hispanic workers and on the take-up of insurance when it is offered. The paper finds that, once human capital, immigration status, and employment characteristics are controlled, Hispanic workers actually have a ...
