Filed under: Credit, Recession, Credit Reports

In this week's "Your Job Will Come" podcast, Aaron Crowe is joined by personal finance expert Carrie Coghill Kuntz to discuss how to protect your credit score while unemployed.

With the national unemployment rate up to 9.8% in September and 263,000 jobs lost last month, there are plenty of people out there who should do all they can to keep their credit in good standing while jobless.


Kuntz is a contributing editor and spokesperson for CreditFYI. She is also co-author of "The Newlyweds' Guide to Investing & Personal Finance" and "What's Your Investing IQ," as well as a contributor to "Getting Started in 401(k) Investing."
