Jamie Dimon launching coalition that aims to boost hiring of ex-cons

If you’re struggling to find work because you’re an ex-con, try hitting up Jamie Dimon.

The hard-charging chief executive of JPMorgan Chase said this week he is helping launch and co-chair the Second Chance Business Coalition, a group that aims to expand hiring of former criminals. “Business has an important role to play in making it easier for people with criminal backgrounds to get back on their feet,” Dimon said in a statement.
