NWLC Testimony on Strengthen Maryland’s Equal Pay

The National Women’s Law Center submitted the following testimony in Maryland. Maryland took an important step towards greater pay transparency in 2020 by requiring employers to provide job applicants with the pay range for a position upon request. We are seeing pay range posting laws take off across the country not just because research suggests pay range transparency can help close gender and racial wage gaps, but because employers and lawmakers are noticing how including pay ranges in job postings helps businesses attract and retain talent and save time and costs in hiring.
