We have just been through a crippling recession and are still in a jobs crisis. But instead of helping folks get back to work, many companies use credit checks to screen job applicants.

This practice is makes little sense, and needs to be stopped. Please email your member of congress and ask them to pass the Equal Employment for All Act as soon as they can. 

The act will stop employers from using credit checks to determine who they will hire which is discriminatory and does not predict success on the job.
