In 2017, it had more people under carceral control (probation and parole) than lived in the city of Pittsburgh. After they have completed their sentences, these hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians will have a criminal record that will make it impossible for them to get the jobs, careers, credit, housing, training, education, and other benefits for which they are qualified. In April 2020, The Economy League issued a path-breaking report calling pardons a "no-cost workforce development and community investment program," and Pennsylvania's Secretary of Labor and Industry called for making pardons available to more people more quickly, as an essential component of making the state's workforce competitive in a global market. Today, the Board of Pardons is approving over 80% of the applications for pardons that it hears.
