Laws went into effect in California and Washington state earlier this year that require companies to post salary ranges as part of their job listings.
Supporters argue such pay transparency laws will help reduce wage gaps and lead to greater pay equity for women.
And research suggests that younger employees especially view pay secrecy policies as old fashioned.
But are there ways that employers — rather than employees — benefit from pay transparency policies?
On Cincinnati Edition, we discuss the trends surrounding pay transparency and what research has found about its benefits and consequences.
