No privacy for the unemployed
For those looking for work here in the US, don’t expect your possible employers to respect your privacy. They want to know EVERYTHING about you and you have no secrets.
We already expect to get drug tested and there are even some questionnaires that want to make sure you AGREE with drug testing and your employers right to control every aspect of your life.
Now expect to be asked about your credit history. Had some trouble paying of a huge credit card debt? That could cost you a job. You may need a job to keep you credit history up to date, but don’t count on an employer cooperating on that. They are only looking for ways to weed people out.
As jobs become scarce, expect employers to become nastier and more intrusive into your private life. As far as they’re concerned – you don’t have a private life.

This article reminds me of this quote, "Seasonal unemployment was found to be a state which does not have much employment, for example, rural areas."
But there are career experts who conduct seminars giving concrete advice about the needed skills to compete in today's competitive job market.
Before you get your credit checked, most HRM's will check your online presence first.
And frequently IF you get hired.
I had the displeasure of working for some who were anti-evolutionists/creationists.
