The faulty FBI files that can ruin your life A National Employment Law Project report found the FBI ran a record 16.9 million employment background checks -- a six-fold increase from a decade ago -- for jobs ranging from child care to truck driving, port workers to mortgage processors. Although background checks can contribute to workplace safety, inaccuracies in the FBI database mean that these checks are blocking about 600,000 Americans a year from jobs for which they may be perfectly qualified. This unfair barrier to employment can and must be fixed. By the Justice Department's own count, roughly 50% of FBI background records are incomplete and don't include the final outcome of an arrest. http://www.cnn.com/2013/09/02/opinion/neighly-fbi-background-checks/index.html?hpt=hp_t4 This is your government working for you! As if the economy isn't bad enough, now our inaccurate feds are making it all that much tougher for 600,000 people a year to get a job. Bravo Big Fed, if you aren't spying on us you are screwing us over some other way!
That's really despicable, stupid. But then, wait till we get the full weight of fed record keeping when it comes to our HC. Just think how "liberating" that will be!
