Economic Impact: 5.4 million people in the U.S. want a job but can’t secure one; according to the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, around 75% of formerly incarcerated people struggle to find work. Lack of access to employment and incarceration in the U.S. go hand in hand. It costs around $30,000 a year to incarcerate a single person. Imagine if that money was used instead to pay someone a living wage?
Greyston 'Open Hiring': founded on the idea that a profitable business could be the backbone of ethical practice.
Open Hiring
