Why not legislate the other way around?
Make it the law that you post how much you're willing to work for on your LinkedIn profile and that you have to supply it to employers at the start of an application process so neither side is wasting time.
Seems like that would address all your complaints just as well.
- jedberg 4y agoBecause the employers already have more information than the employees. The whole point is to level the playing field. Your suggestion just gives the employers more data.

The point of this legislation is to push salaries up by forcing employers to reveal their hiring budget up front. That way, prospective employees can more easily shop around for the highest salary.
