New York City has such a law, and New York state has a law like it up for vote soon: https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2021/s5598

"Requires employers to disclose compensation or range of compensation to applicants and employees upon issuing an employment opportunity for internal or public viewing or upon employee request."

That turns on in New York City on May 15, 2022.[1] Employers will start coming around after that.

New York State is considering that statewide.

> Range of compensation

Can’t a company just say that the range is $1-$1,000,000 for every single job? Or is there something in the law that requires a narrower range?

The law includes language that says an employer must make a “good faith” determination of the lowest and highest salary it would pay for that position. However, the law itself law does not define what “salary” is; presumably that definition exists elsewhere.

I would therefore hope that if a company posted a range of $1-$1,000,000 for a job (let alone all jobs) they would get some scrutiny from regulators. But I don't know. I don't live there and I'm not a lawyer.

Still, the could post something like $50k - $500k and say to the regulators that it depends on so many factors.
