Anyone and everyone can. It is a matter of public record and even the BK has the obligation to make sure all interested parties have the info.

Can you lose a job for filling for bankruptcy?

Many employers use credit reports as an indicator of someones ability to handle responsibility, trustworthiness and general desire to uphold their obligations. BK would not be a good sign. However, Federal law in the United States explicitly prohibits employers from denying employment based on bankruptcy. An employer cannot deny employment based on an individual's bankruptcy, to do so would be illegal.The U.S. Bankruptcy Code contains a nondiscrimination provision that bars employers from firing or discriminating against an employee who is or has been a debtor or bankrupt "solely because" of bankruptcy. However, the law is interpreted broadly, and if an employer can find another reasonable way to fire or deny employment from you than it is legal for them to deny you employment.

It depends on who "you" are. If the person has lived in the same state or part of a state for his adult life, you can search the records of the bankruptcy court for that state or district within the state.
