It rarely is. Outside of law enforcement and people who handle other people's money, I've never seen it used. The credit check is to rule out someone over their head in debt who may easily be tempted into illegal actions.

An employer in certain industries can look at your credit history..it is important as in how you handle your money, are you trustworthy, and do you take care of your debts? As for attorneys for example..if you have serious problems that would disqualify you for taking the bar in most jurisdications faster than a DWI. Would a bank want someone with an irresponsible credit history advising and approving mortgages? no. But no McDonalds shouldn't fire you...and if you are say a nurse or a secretary or even a Doctor...who cares? They can’t discriminate…but that is an issue in itself.
