I understand man it should be fair game across the board, Indiana is like so many years behind everyone else. They talk about unemployment being high but dont want to do anything about it.
But shouldnt they have money since they leased the toll roads to a out of state(or country) buisness? Like in my case where its hard to find emplyment because of a felony conviction. They should make like a certain tax like every felon has to pay like $1.00 for every hour and have that money go into the school system or unemployment grants. Tus it would give buisnesses the incentive to hire and plus money would be going to good a cause. But nothing like that would ever happen. because it would benift the lower class and not the "high society." Sorry if i took what ya said the wrong way.

In response to the comments shared pertaining to the WIA program, I went thru the WIA program last year (one month removed from prison) while I was still in Texas. There was no time requirement imposed to participate in the program. The WIA's purpose is place people in a position (thru schooling of some sort) to get jobs in the occupations the Department of Labor has determined to be "critical".
Truck driving is a "critical" field right now so that is one plus for you getting help thru the WIA. Next, you will have to be able to get a job in the area you seek WIA assistance and work in that field for a certain period of time. You will have to show a "need" to qualify for WIA assistance. That "need" will certainly factor in your current income. If your WIA representative is not convinced your criminal background will not prevent you from getting a CDL-driving job, you may not get approval from that particular source. Having the right information is key to making the best decision(s) possible, especially when you have obstacles to overcome. Good luck with your plan(s).
