    The Work Number maintains a database of employment records that employers can contribute to, and it’s commonly used for: Employment verification for new jobs Income verification for loans, rentals, etc. Background checks

    They also sometimes keep track of “eligible for rehire” status which basically tells whether you’ve been fired.

    Also can be used to low ball you in your next position.

    It’s run by Equifax. Enjoy the dark rabbit hole I just sent you down.
