After 9/11 it was estimated that seventy-five percent of the truck drivers frequenting US shipyards were previously convicted felons. It is probably safe to continue that estimate to all shipyard workers. So, yes, a person previously convicted of a felony can work at a Virginia shipyard, provided the specific employer does not decide to discriminate against those with records of felony conviction.

Can a convicted felon work at a pawn shop in Virginia?

In Virginia, a convicted felon may be able to work at a pawn shop, but it largely depends on the nature of the felony conviction and the policies of the specific pawn shop. Some pawn shops may have their own hiring restrictions based on criminal history, while state regulations allow some discretion. Additionally, certain convictions may prevent individuals from obtaining the necessary licenses to work in pawn establishments. It’s advisable for potential applicants to check with the pawn shop and understand the relevant laws and regulations.
