Employers that Require a Credit Check - Percentage

From StatWiki

"In a January 2010 survey, the Society for Human Resource Management found that about 60% of employers require a credit check of some or all candidates."

(Christine Romans, host of CNN's "Your $$$$$" and author of the book Smart Is the New Rich, put the number at 47% in this CNN article, but she didn't give a reference. Perhaps it's in the book?]
