How much of this is due to the combination of the internet and near universal use of pre-employment background checks preventing people who made a mistake from never being able to put their past behind them?

In Texas if you get arrested for a crime, guilty or not, just arrested, you don't
get to move into safe apartments. They have to move into the ghetto apartments.

I cannot imagine how that works with employment.

I suspect credit checks are keeping a good many from even getting to the interview process. I also suspect if you apply for a lot of jobs those numerous checks on your credit are used against you negatively.

not sure about that, but I will say that Corps/HR today are a joke when it comes to hiring.

I was looking for some part time work to augment my full time job. I have a solid resume.

I was applying for a low paying, low skill, mindless job. I spent 45 minutes filling out nonsense on their website. You would have thought I was applying for an upper management position. I always hear “companies can’t find decent help” and I wonder if it’s because HR is so clueless and full of themselves that they are scuttling decent potential employees with their convoluted methods.
