You said, “[SIC]Increasing number of large employers are using these scores — not only are you not going to have a good credit score, you’re not going to be able to get a job.”
Employers do not use credit scores because they cannot even get them; the consumer reporting agencies do not provide credit scores for employment purposes. What evidence suggests that an increasing number of large employers (or any employer, at all) use credit scores?
We don’t know how it’s going to turn out, but we are creating a world of misinformation. What will you do to stop it?
