How Does Your Employment Info Wind Up On Your Credit Report?

The information comes from your applications for credit. If you list a company as your employer when you apply for credit, then that company's name may appear on your credit report. If you have not applied for credit since you left that company, then the credit reporting agency (credit bureau) does not know you left that company.
 
On my credit report there is a company listed but I havnt worked for them in years, and yet none of the subsequent companies I've worked for are even listed.

How does that happen?
