I would try your local State Employment Office.  (Used to be called the Unemployment Office).  I goggle your question and found sites that hire felons.  Such as this one:  http://www.jobsthathirefelons.com/b.php?&sub=&searchName=

You're just going to have to keep looking and putting in applications.  I know a lady that was in for DUI Manslaughter, served her time and went on to work for a big wig in Texas.  So it does happen.  Just keep trying and make sure you have a skill that is saleable.  Good luck. 

This is a diificult one.My son did time for a violent crime and afterwards no prospective employer would touch him.Cutting a long story short,he ended up going self employed and has turned his life round.Would that be a possibility for you?Or maybe voluntary work?Perhaps a way of getting a reference for paid employment?It takes a lot of guts admitting youve got a record and i wish you all the luck in the world.Please let us know how you get on

No skills? Get a skill. Training is available for ex-cons. Only your efforts can make you what you want to be. Do nothing, you'll hit the s**thouse again. Do something positive and the "Big Guy" will be next to you all the way. Peace.

Keep applyiing, Keep upgrading your skills. Never lie at your interview. Be honest and sincere if you make it to the interview. Someone will be smart enoough to hire you. When you get a job be the best employee you can be.
