Food for thought - Is it ok
to use a credit report as a tool to filter prospective employees?
A few months ago I spoke
with several distressed job seekers who were refused employment because of
their credit score. This touched my
heart as I feel the recent recession has negatively impacted many individuals
in this way. So in my quest to learn
more I found that approximately 35 percent of Americans have credit scores that
will prevent them from getting good credit terms and 25 percent have bad credit
or a FICA score below 600.
