Yes, an employer is legally allowed to ask if you've been convicted of a crime of any level. Generally they're looking for serious violent crimes or crimes of moral turpitude.
If you fail to disclose this information and you're hired and they subsequently find out, it's grounds for immediate termination.
if they ask, yes. if you tried to hide it... not possible.

Depends on the hiring Company and the nature of the Misdemeanor. If you contact the local court where the Misdemeanor was judged, you can get an expungement easily. Expungement is the erasure of the record after a period of time where no new and similar crimes have been committed. It is well worth the paper work (lots of it)to achieve a clean record. Back to the main question. As long as the Misdemeanor was not of a violent nature (domestic dispute does not count at the Misdemeanor level)or one of theft or the like, you should have no trouble getting hired. Most employers are not interested in Misdemeanor convictions of any type they only look at the Felonies. Y-THINK-Y
