Another emerging tactic is to prohibit companies from asking job candidates about their previous salary, in order to break the cycle of underpaying women when they switch employers. Massachusetts, New York City, and Philadelphia have all passed legislation doing just that.
Not sure how much this will change though because the candidate knows how much she makes, which is a huge input to next salary. Also guessing that it doesn’t prevent candidates from disclosing their compensation, which is an effective negotiating technique.
