Minimum salary: $10,000 per year. Maximum salary: $1,000,000 per year. Legal compliance achieved, while still effectively maintaining confidentiality of salary info.

Not sure I follow. The min and max would be based all the real job in the company. Otherwise it's useless.

That range probably doesn't satisfy the requirements of the new law:

The range must: "extend from the lowest to the highest salary the employer in good faith believes at the time of the posting it would pay for the advertised job, promotion or transfer opportunity."

Way to make harder to get a job! For my first salary role I took half the advertised pay as I knew less than half of what they wanted. With this crap I'd just not get the job.

The law does not prevent this.

The law opens any employer up to dozens of lawsuits if they hire people for less than what was advertised.

This hasn't caused jobs to disappear in Colorado, which has a similar law.

They still need to hire. Employers don't hire for the fun of it.
