Yes, a felony does not prevent you from gaining employment. It might limit your employment opportunities. It depends on what the felony conviction is... fraud or embezzling would probably keep you from working in a bank or securities exchange. Most retail businesses would not hirer you either. That said, you could work in hospitals, construction field, entertainment and public services. Do Not lie if asked if you have a felony, be honest and explain it. If it was 3 or 4 years ago and no arrest since then you have a greater chance of being hired.
