I just applied for a job and they ask you to submit to a criminal and credit check. Ok, I can understand the criminal check, but a credit check?? WTH! Adn the is not for some top secret government job, it's for a dat entry clerk. What does your credit have to do with data entry?

This is the thing that I don't understand. When one applies/interviews for a job, they have to run a credit background check. What are the prospective employers trying to tell the applicants? That if they have lousy credit or they are in debt, they don't get the job. Isn't one the purposes of getting a job to make money to pay off the debts. I don't get it at all!
