Quite a few commenters note (correctly) that non-salary compensation is a big part of tech compensation. This law isn't for you. This law is for "normal" jobs.

Quite a few commenters note (correctly) that non-salary compensation is a big part of tech compensation. This law isn't for you. This law is for "normal" jobs. Teachers, admin assistants, truck drivers, nurses, logistics people, etc. These are jobs that are almost entirely salary or an hourly wage for which pay transparency is incredibly useful in stopping people getting taken advantage of. To show you how this matters a lot of remote jobs were previously advertised as "not available to residents of Colorado". Why? Because Colorado had a similar pay transparency requirement. California is a much bigger fish so it's going to be much harder to do this. If you have Oregon, Washington, New York and the Northeast follow suit it'll become a de facto norm in non-disclosing states. I fully support empowering workers.
