JPMorgan Chase: The Waiting Workforce
JPMorgan Chase, in partnership with creative agency Droga5, commissioned an art installation to shine a light on the problem of 'The Waiting Workforce': one in three Americans with prior criminal records that face or have faced significant barriers to finding meaningful employment, and the importance of Clean Slate legislation. The installation consists of 38 sculptures that represent people with past criminal records in waiting positions made out of real expungement papers, showing how this complex and costly paperwork is the very thing keeping them out of the workforce. These are 38 statues for the 38 states that have yet to pass this legislation that would bring automatic record clearing and ultimately more employment opportunities for those who already paid their dues. This installation opened on Thursday, April 4th and takes place in Philadelphia’s Independence Plaza throughout the month of April for Second Chance Month. Pennsylvania was the first state to pass Clean Slate legislation, so launching this campaign here signifies the opportunity for other states to follow their lead. On the same day, JPMorgan Chase will be hosting the Second Chance Business Coalition Conference to release the latest data on the expungement problem in the US. They’ve also invited people who have been affected by this issue to celebrate the art piece and its significance together.
