Tell HN: Salary data is for sale

Equifax is selling salary data as part of an "employment verification solution":

https://theworknumber.com/

You can view a copy of your report here:

https://employees.theworknumber.com/

It will contain:

* Previous annual salary

* Previous paycheck amounts

* Previous addresses

* Who has accessed the report in the past 24 months

From their website, this data may be able to be removed via CCPA:

> Employee data is exempt from the CCPA until January 1, 2022.
