Congress would officially recognize April 2026 as "Fair Chance Jobs Month" to raise awareness about employment opportunities for people with criminal records who are trying to rebuild their lives. The designation aims to encourage employers to hire qualified candidates regardless of their past convictions and to highlight programs that help formerly incarcerated individuals find work. This recognition supports efforts to reduce recidivism and help people successfully reenter the workforce after serving their sentences.
