I recently was charged with a class c felony. I lost my job and have seeking work but the background checks seem to be keeping this from happening.

If you were arrested, the record of the arrest will immediately start showing up on your criminal background check. Your case is still pending, so no conviction is showing up. The reason you are having a hard time getting a job is that they are seeing on your criminal background check that you were arrested for a felony.
