Lower the unemployment rate by making it illegal for employers to run a credit report for job seekers.

Created by X.R. on February 26, 2013

Many employers run a credit report to determine possible employment. Like many Americans, I lost my job and everything that came along with it including my credit rating. Now I cannot find work due to my credit rating. I think tax breaks aren't the issue. The issue hurting many of us is credit. I am asking that your administration ban the use of credit reports as a determining factor for employment. I believe it will lower the unemployment rate and get us back on track as a country. Middle class families and those at the poverty level will benefit from this the most as it will put us back to work and not having us rely on social service programs within our communities.
