New York joined a wave of states that require pay transparency in job ads. New data suggests most US postings now include a salary range, but they are sometimes laughably vague.

Please report companies when they are breaking this law! People think this is unenforceable, but that’s incorrect. Each state has a way to report law breaking companies. Lack of pay transparency causes substantial illegal discrimination against all different classes.

This is the number one reason they have to use recruiters. If im looking I respond to adverts with pay scales that meet my minimum or the same with recruiters but since recruiters are an open communication channel I will give a chance to answer if the position can meet my floor. Not putting in the compensation is like putting an ad out looking for the worst and dimmest and they are likely not to get many bites from them either.
