The Rise of Pay Transparency: Key Takeaways.

Employers in the US are increasingly posting salary ranges for job openings, even in states where it’s not required by law, due to new legislation in several states and a tight labor market. The number of US job postings that include salary information more than doubled between February 2020 and February 2023. Advocates say it benefits women and people of color, who statistically fare less well in hiring negotiations. Major companies including Microsoft, CitiGroup, and Google have publicly committed to posting salary ranges for all jobs across the country, rather than only in the states where it’s legally required.
