Usually 7 years for a misdemeanor, 10 years for a felony for any "run in the mill job." Federal, State, and jobs requiring a security clearance can go back all the way to your juvenile record.
It's up to the employer. When you sign the authorization form, it should outline what will be investigated and how far back it will go.
