That's illegal? The income question was on every single application I filled out when I was younger. When did it become illegal?

    It is in CA, which is where both I and the company I was applying for were based at the time

    Hmm, I lived in California for a long time and companies definitely asked on a regular basis. Do you know when it was made illegal?

    "How much money are you looking for in this role" is very common. "How much are you making right now" is not allowed.

    This depends entirely on where you are. This article is from last year, so it could have changed since then, but there is no federal prohibition on requesting your current pay in an interview, @AwkwardLookMonkeyPuppet@lemmy.world

    Love the swing states with preemptive laws on the books to prevent progress

    How is it even legal to pass a law saying you can't regulate this thing? That seems highly contestable.

    Probably for the same reason its perfectly legal for a state with republican controlled state senate to hold a post-election lame duck session where they shove through a bunch of legislation limiting the powers of the state governor because their guy happened to lose the election
