Make credit checks for the purposes of employment illegal.

It should be an illegal practice for employers to refuse hiring a candidate because of their credit score as it creates a catch-22 for qualified candidates: A person who needs a job cannot get one because they have debt they cannot pay for because they do not have a job. At the time of this posting, 8 states have made the practice illegal, but congress needs to intervene and make it a crime in all fifty states. Stop bad credit from preventing your employment or the employment of a loved one or the employment of the unprivileged many who have found them selves not only on hard times, but oppressed by a system that seems to want to keep them there.
