Philadelphia’s mayor signed into law this week a measure that prohibits employers in the city from asking job applicants to provide their past salary data, something supporters of the ordinance hope will help reduce the wage gap between men and women.The theory appears to be that if women’s wages currently lag men’s for illegitimate reasons, and if employers base new starting salaries in any significant measure on salary histories (which in turn would be affected by improperly low… [read post]
