https://www.coloradoexcluded.com/ https://www.coloradoexcluded.com/ <- last year, when this requirement began, several companies started refusing to accept job applications from Colorado residents to avoid having to post salary ranges, and someone made this webpage to name and shame these employers. It seems to have been less active lately, but based on what you say, that may not be because employers are responding to the incentive...

That's a great site. I've also noticed in the last couple months, many jobs (although not most), have started to list salaries for Colorado employees. It's a good ballpark for the rest of us at least, and I like this trend. I post the salary range for all the jobs that I list because it's a waste of everyone's time if we don't meet each other's expectations on some of those important points before investing more time in finding the right fit. Recruiters don't like to post the salary range because they want to have a phone call with every candidate. There may have been a time when that made sense for them, but that time is not now. The job market is not the used car lot it used to be.

I think that web site is out of date. I clicked on a few, and the companies are still hiring Colorado people. For example, clicking through the Accenture link to a job listing shows: "As required by Colorado law under the Equal Pay for Equal Work Act, Accenture provides a reasonable range of compensation for roles that may be hired in Colorado. Actual compensation is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skill set, level of experience, and specific office location. For the state of Colorado only, the range of starting pay for this role is $112,000-$134,000 and information on benefits offered is here."

How well is this law actually enforced? As an example, I quickly pulled a physician job at a random HCA hospital in Denver: https://careers.hcahealthcare.com/jobs/9031565-pulmonary-slash-critical-care-opportunity-in-downtown-denver-co https://careers.hcahealthcare.com/jobs/9031565-pulmonary-sla... I see no salary ranges. I pulled some other medical jobs as well and it seems moderately random if they list anything at all. Really, I may be misunderstanding the law and what information is supposed to be disclosed, but the larger hospitals and medical groups in Colorado mostly don't post salary ranges.

  Like many laws, it may be less expensive to break the law and pay the fines than to comply with it.

  It's enforced, but needs to be reported to have action taken.

    It's not heavily enforced. The fine is like $5k IIRC, they don't seek out job postings and only take tips, and the first breach by a company is only a warning.
