IMHO, not so. Rules have changed a bit, but, IME no banks are even trying to verify employment for credit card apps (it would be quite costly for them). I believe that self-reported income and employment will continue to be the norm.

And, of course, it is a crime to mis-state things on a credit application if the lender is federally insured--as essentially all are.
