Wrong. Someone will get the job, someone won't, regardless of laws like this. If a previous criminal now gets a job over another person, that other person is now out of a job. So it's net 0.
Wrong. If you're a felon, then "good" jobs are not afforded to you. Since you can't land a good job, you go back to crime. Crime leads back to prison, which costs us. Fatherless homes, which costs us. And the cycle grows, which costs us. Look at the larger picture.

So the obvious choice is for the government to step in and legislate costly, inefficient procedures that increase the monetary and administrative burdens of businesses, right?

Instead of forcing businesses to do anything, they should incentivize hiring of reformed convicts and let businesses choose if they want to take the risk.

Boo fricking hoo. If I ran a business, I wouldn't hire a felon. And I wouldn't want to work next to one. Classic NIMBY mindset you have there. Would you want your kid being taught by a "former" child molester? Would you want your wife working late in the office with a "former" rapist? I'm willing to bet you wouldn't.
