Your next interview may be one question shorter as cities, states and territories around the U.S. stop asking, “How much did you make in your last job?” The question is being banned in an effort to eliminate gender wage disparities, reports Business Insider. California, Oregon, Delaware, Massachusetts, New York City, Philadelphia and Puerto Rico outlawed employers from inquiring about a candidate’s salary history, Business Insider said. New Orleans and Pittsburgh put in place similar bans for hiring city workers. An embargo in Maryland is in the works, but not in Illinois, where Governor Bruce Rauner vetoed the proposal. Michigan and Wisconsin have also prohibited salary history question bans, Bloomberg said. •
What's your take on banning salary history questions?
