New York doesn't even enforce its salary requirement declaration law. It will most definitely not enforce this law either. It will just sit on the books being violated openly. --- https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2025/S8877 https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2025/S8877

Perhaps I'm naive, but I've never seen a New York job without a salary range listed. I can't tell you whether it's being vigorously enforced, but it seems to me that it's having the intended effect. At the very least, even if enforcement is lax, it's a good piece of information for the job applicant: if you are applying for a job in NY and the posting has no salary range on it, you automatically know that employer is willing to violate the law and can make a judgement call on whether to avoid them.

  You must not have applied much to smaller and medium sized firms in New York because they're missing salary ranges all over the place.

    Admittedly, no, most of the time I see them they're multi-location corporate roles where the company has two or three choices of offices and one of them is in NYC. I will point out that the state law has a number of exemptions: independent contractors and interns, companies with fewer than 5 employees, and commission-based roles don't need a salary range disclosure. NYC law is generally more strict on the subject. Perhaps if you're seeing a lot of jobs that aren't listing a range, it's possible they fit into one of those categories. After all, the vast majority of businesses measured by quantity of firms are small businesses.

If its anything like Washington state's salary disclosure law, then enforcement relies entirely on citizen reports. The state does fine, I've seen it happen (I've also seen numerous class action suits won by applications and employees using this law), but they generally aren't hunting around job boards looking for companies to fine. They rely on reports.
