Question

hiring former prison inmates is good for business. which source below would be the most credible to support this claim? a list of well - known corporations that have policies promoting the hiring of former inmates. an interview with a businessman praising the dedication and loyalty of inmates he has hired. a 2014 bureau of labor statistics report on the turnover rate and productivity of former inmates. a 2005 paper in a respected psychology journal describing proven strategies for integrating inmates into a workplace with non - inmates.

Explanation:

To determine the most credible source for the claim "Hiring former prison inmates is good for business", we analyze the options:

• Option A: A list of corporations with hiring policies doesn't prove it's good for business (policies don't equal positive business impact).
• Option B: A single businessman's interview is anecdotal and not generalizable.
• Option C: A Bureau of Labor Statistics report on turnover rate (lower turnover is good for business) and productivity (higher productivity is good) provides empirical, data - driven evidence directly related to business performance metrics.
• Option D: A psychology journal paper on integration strategies doesn't address if hiring inmates is good for business (focuses on integration, not business benefits).

Answer:

C. A 2014 Bureau of Labor Statistics report on the turnover rate and productivity of former inmates.
