Holding out what? It's unbalanced if one party is required to reveal their price, but the other isn't.

The same can be said for the employer's range. If an employee wants to know the pay range of the position, they can just ask. It's just as stupid and useless to require one as it is to require the other.

Sure there is, employers don't want their time just as applicants don't want to waste theirs. Again, employment is a two way street.

Your argument only proves that regulating this disclosure is mostly useless.

>I still don’t agree, as the employer/employee relationship isn’t equitable in the first place. Likewise job postings are one sided, something done by the employer to the public — that is what is being regulated.
I think you're confusing "equitable" with "equal". Each side of hiring is certainly fair, both sides want something from the other as employment is a mutually beneficial agreement between the two parties. One side wants labor and the other wants money.

Your desired range for the job you apply for is not your salary history.

If one party is required to reveal their desired range, then so should the other. Employment is a mutually beneficial agreement, so it's only equitable that laws forcing one party's hand should also force the others.

Current job and future job are two entirely different jobs. I'm referring to why employees are forced to disclose what they're willing to offer for the role, but applicants aren't forced to disclose what pay they're willing to accept for the role they're applying for.

It's not though. Employer and employee are different roles, but it's a mutually beneficial agreement.

Prior salary is irrelevant. IDK why you bring it up.

Salary history has nothing to do with the salary of the position in question.

It's strange that they force employers to reveal desires salary range, but do not require employees to also reveal their desired range. Not very equitable of them.
Edit: For clarity, I'm referring to the desired salary of the posting in question, not historical salary of previous jobs the applicant held.

Do your own research and judge for yourself. Morals are relative, so what someone calls "ethical" might not be ethical to you.
