“In one paper, Cullen finds that in states with transparency laws that protect workers’ rights to discuss their compensation, there was, overall, a 2 percent decline in wages.”

This is what I thought would happen. For one thing, as an employer, I am less likely to generously compensate star performers, thus bringing the overall average wage down.


There are federal protections for discussing wages, why does my the states enacting anything have an effect?
