Workers are often told not to talk about pay. That's not legal

Millennials certainly seem more willing to openly discuss salaries, which is a promising trend. I've also noticed that people in NY are much more eager to discuss specific salary numbers than people in SF.

On the east coast you're nobody if you're not rich. On the west coast you're nobody if you're not trying to get rich.

As a New Yorker, that's interesting. Just curious -- do you find people in NY are also more willing to discuss what they pay in rent?

Rent was a hot topic in SF in recent years because costs skyrocketed, so it was actually talked about a lot. I live in NY now and I haven't noticed people talking about rent as much. But I can give you a ballpark figure (if not an exact figure) of how much most of my friends here earn, even though I have never once asked!

How many of those millenials were earning minimum wage?
