Thanks to pay transparency laws enacted in states like California, Colorado, Illinois and Washington, as well as in a handful of cities like New York, many job advertisements now include a pay range. But some employers have skirted such requirements by disclosing salary ranges that aren’t specific to the position being offered. Current job listings from Netflix, for example, indicate a salary range of $60,000 to $290,000 for a consumer products role. The practice of disclosing broad salary bands may be growing in high-paying fields like medical information and scientific research and development, according to research by economists at the Indeed Hiring Lab.

HB 4231 would repeal a 2011 law barring municipalities from entering into labor agreements on publicly funded construction projects. HB 4237 would repeal a 2015 law blocking municipalities from imposing wage and benefit requirements on local businesses. (MLIVE, STATE NET)
