"These people have obviously never had a long term health problem or a long term layoff."

And then there's the hypocricy of firms with horrible credit running credit checks on prospective employees.

That said, I have no particular problem with employers running credit checks, so long as they get permission from the prospective employee first. If said candidate declines, the employer is (or should be) free to make his decision based upon that.

further, if you're out of work and send your resume to 10 companies, 5 contact you about possible opportunities and all 5 run credit checks, your score goes DOWN because of the inquiries..it's why I get a copy of my report every 3 months and if I apply somewhere, I refuse to let THEM run the check, instead I hand them a copy of the report (it keeps the inquiries to an absolute minimum, which is ZERO)...if they insist on doing one themselves, I tell them not to bother and will go elsewhere..if I can't find anyone to look at my printed report and make a decision, I don't buy..
