Scale: 1 (harmful) to 10 (beneficial)
Your Wallet
Killing this bill denies workers salary information that helps them negotiate fair pay. Studies show pay transparency laws increase wages, especially for women and minorities.
Your Community
Without salary transparency, pay gaps persist and workers waste time applying to jobs that don't meet their needs. Other states with these laws report better hiring outcomes.
Your Freedom
Workers lack information needed to make informed career decisions. The bill would have empowered job seekers with basic pay data.
