There are some areas of this country where the company I work for has trouble finding people who do not have a felony in their past, are able to read and write, and can pass a drug test.

I’ll take a swag at this, and I would suppose that these areas tend to coincide with blue states.
Unfortunately, I live in one of those areas. Probably 20% of all applicants we get can’t pass the basic hiring requirements.
