[lbo-talk] Job seekers' obstacle: Bad credit

[jimi ayler]

i know i was sweating my new employer's investigation
into my awful credit before they offered me the job a
few months back (i'm sure being forthright about it,
and about my unemployment for five months prior,
helped rather than hindered my chances). quite apart
from making trw a dubiously authentic job reference,
at the end of the day, this is no business whatsoever
of any employer, nor is most other outside-of-work
facts of life provided you're doing your job
effectively. i'll be interested to see where this case
goes -- i don't see it standing a legal challenge, but
then, i felt the same way about the 2000 presidential
election...

incidentally, and along these lines, i did take a look
at the foi-released fbi files whomever it was who sent
the link earlier -- turns out, the bureau checked
bobby kennedy's credit, as well, before he got his
federal job! even with papa joe's bootlegging fortune,
not even bobby was safe from the hunt for a bad credit rating.
