In a growing number of states across the country, employers are being required to disclose salaries when posting job applications. Massachusetts is the latest state to mandate pay transparency, with Governor Maura Healey signing a bill into law in late July that requires businesses with more than 25 employees to disclose salary ranges when posting job openings. This move aims to level the playing field and reduce wage gaps, especially for women and people of color. While these laws are seen as a significant step toward wage equality, there can be downsides, such as potential impacts on hiring, employee morale, and productivity. Other states, including California, Hawaii, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, and Washington, have also passed similar pay transparency laws. If you’re job hunting, it’s important to be aware of these developments!
