What? Your question is kind of confusing. I am not sure what you are asking. Did you mean how does the background check work for the city job, and does the credit score matter? Is that what you are asking?

Credit score has nothing to do with whether you get hire or not. However, if you have criminal background or felony being convicted, then you will have a problem.

Pretty sure, but not 100% sure. As far as I know, credit score has nothing to do with employment.

It depends on the position, if it has anything to deal with money, a credit report is fair game.

I'm sorry, but I'd also be worried that you're a functioning illiterate.

Also, credit matters for certain national security positions (and imagine that some MTA positions/city jobs classify as such).
