Paying a bit more attention and reading its last 2 pages.

Briefly research a job you’d be interested in by title then search for openings of that title is a state that has such salary reporting.

.a) Report back on the position title, what it says about the salary range, and any stated qualifiers such as depending on experience, location, internal equity, etc.

Many companies elect to not tell their employees the ranges/bands, midpoint, etc. Yet with the emerging laws on salary transparency word is out there. Even if a company operates in a state that doesn’t have a reporting requirement.

b) With the range ‘published’ hiring is, most likely, no more than just below the published mid-point. Doesn’t that discriminate against high earners – those who are perhaps older or have had strong performance-based raises? Why or why not?
