Credit scores and credit reports are being used by employers to turn down qualified candidates for jobs, further prohibiting many Americans from obtaining jobs which would help them improve their financial situation.
With the economy in the poor shape it is in, most Americans, and particularly those who have had extended periods of unemployment, have had some credit issues. Millions of Americans are in foreclosure, have already lost their homes or are seriously delinquent.
Credit scores and credit reports are not reflective of job performance and should not be available to employers, only to creditors.
