Long Overdue. One Step Closer to Truth in Job-Advertising

What a load of crap:

"The California Chamber of Commerce, a business-oriented lobbying group, opposes the bill as "unworkable," even after the removal of a clause that would have made all pay data public. The group claims the salary range disclosure requirement is "difficult if not impossible" to implement because the bill provides a private right to action to sue non-compliant companies, even when the infraction was the omission of salary data from a third-party job website."

Solution: Hold accountable third-party job sites.

There is much more garbage that should be outlawed.

Middleman, do-nothing recruiters try to enrich themselves by posting the same job umpteen times, leaving out select details to hide the hiring company. Consultancies act as subcontractors to enable hiring companies to skirt paying FTE salaries and benefits. Hiring companies like to play games with résumé-collecting blind ads and never-intended-to-fill jobs. The list goes on.

Recruiters pitching jobs to me have claimed that the Colorado salary ranges were not yardsticks for what the jobs pay.

Oh, really? Would you repeat that for Colorado's Attorney General?
