It used to be someone could call up and say "John is looking for a job 
here and claims he makes $X. Is that about right?"  I think enough 
people got sued in the USA to make it not worth a company's risk to give 
out any sort of recommendation, review, etc anymore.  All my references 
are essentially personal references these days - people who I used to 
work for who have also moved on to new things.
