Back legislation or issue an executive order banning the use of an applicant's credit rating in hiring

Created by L.T. on January 07, 2013

This petition calls for an end to the practice of using a person's credit rating to deny them employment in cases where the credit rating has no relation to the job. Eight states have enacted such legislation, but a national ban is needed. In these days of high unemployment and discrimination against job candidates (i.e. age, time out of work, etc.) employers need fewer excuses not to hire a candidate.
