It depends on the scope of the background investigation. Have you been arrested while you are in the hiring process with an employer? A lot of employers are just interested in convictions. Depending on what the misdemeanor is, some employers will care, and some will not.

If you have not been charged then no. Simply being arrested and let go than you are fine.

Did you appear in court eventually? Were you acquitted? What was the original charge? Was the question "Have you ever been arrested?" asked? If it was, did you answer truthfully?
