Depends on the search used. Some only go back seven years, others go back forever.

Unless you are a minor and the judges reduces it to something else or you are found innocent later a felony record stays with you forever.
Most employment backgrounds do not ask for that information and the only way they the employers can get it is to ask the person for the information or seek it though the police /sherriff department.
We have people working for us with felonies with private contractors who can not get on as full time employment with full retirement, insurance, 401-k paid hollidays, sick leave ect. because theyhave felony records, usually drug related. However at the same time there are employees working here for 5 yrs or better who have felony records. I think it depends on who wants you to have the job and who does not.
In the South if all companies were to fire everyone with a felony record, and never hire another one we would have to close the doors on most companies. So far as I know the only people rejected for employment because of felonies were white. Blacks are excepted in most all cases. A majority of black employees do have felonies behind them. It's not racism it's just plain facts I can back up.

this relies upon on the business enterprise. There are some employers who examine a candidate's historic past from start and there are others who return for below a constrained volume of time (e.g. 7 years). additionally, there are some employers who will nevertheless hire you for their pastime based upon the conviction and the character of the pastime. for this reason, the only way which you will no longer get the pastime is that in case you probably did no longer pre-show your conviction.

a felony is carried around like luggage, heavy luggage, for the rest of your life. depending on the circumstance though, it is possible that this stain can be removed, see a decent lawyer would be my best advice to see if this is possible. age of offense,
severity of offense and the time can come into play.

Yes. Employment background checks are very thorough when it comes to that.

Yes it stays there forever. The background checks we run at work have pulled up stuff from thirty years ago. If you don't want a record, don't commit a crime.

Yes, it can. I know one very nice (now) man who can't have a real job and is stuck working for minimum wage at crappy places because of things he did 20 years ago.
