#12Businesses are not truly desperate for labor until they start publicly advertising minimum pay rates and quality of life at work.
A few restaurants around me have started listing their starting pay, plus sign on bonuses, so they are finally feeling the heat.

#13Why?
From the "Why does this matter" link on the first page ( https://www.coloradoexcluded.com/about ): "Companies are excluding Colorado from their remote employment opportunities in order to avoid sharing the salary range of their open positions. In May of 2019 SB19-085, titled the Equal Pay For Equal Work Act, was signed into law in Colorado. It's a fairly short read if you're not familiar with it, but its main goal is…
Salary ranges are typically pretty wide though so I'm not sure how much secret info this will leak.

The advertised minimum pay is what matters, as employers will have to increase the minimum pay to attract more and/or quality job applicants.

They believe they’re entitled to the best tech team at Walmart cashier rates

#16Doesn’t California have a similar pay transparency law? As far as I can tell, it doesn’t work, because it’s still rare to see a salary range up front.

I think many of these companies are simply too lazy to have their compliance department review listings, and have chosen to pull them instead. Which still reflects just as negatively on them, but isn't quite the same.
This law is absolutely a great step forward, but I've seen plenty of roles listing pay ranges like "Minimum - $30,200/annual Maximum - $289,200/annual," so I struggle to believe that the actual information disclosure is the issue at hand.

#18Do the people who lobbied for this law think this is a positive outcome for workers in Colorado or not?

#19Seems like the law of unintended consequences at work?

#20This is a predictable consequence of a shortsighted legal requirement. How many people will be deprived of work opportunities because of this law? How many jobs will Colorado lose over the next decade or more until the legislature realizes what they've done?
