There were about 300 people that were accused by Joseph McCarty as either being Communist or sympathizing with Communism. When the lists were made public, all of these individuals were illegally blacklisted. This means that they were fired from their jobs, shunned, and were unable to find other work. Some people were given the opportunity to clear their name in a long, drawn-out process. Very few people actually cleared their name this way. Most people were just forced to suffer through the blacklisting. McCarty's accusations irreparably damaged many careers. The reputations and livelihoods of hundreds of people were ruined.
