When applying for a new job do most employers still require drug scans and do they also go through your social media? (self.asklemmy)

Obviously this is going to depend on country, locality, industry, and specific company.

I live in the US in an East Coast state. I don't know anyone who gets drug tested anymore, unless they are working in a sensitive industry (aerospace, as guided by the FAA) or have an accident on the job and are tested after the fact.

There are overlapping state and national laws. My state has legalized marijuana, but the national government, via the FAA, says "No" if I work in certain jobs. I do work in aerospace but not in one of those jobs that the FAA cares about drug testing for.

I always assume my social media will be searched.

good point on weed legalization of federal where it is not vs some states where it is.
