Have you seen improvement in compliance with California's pay transparency law, #SB1162 (employers of 15+ disclosing pay ranges in job listings & 100+ reporting pay rates to the state)?

@johnlogic I'm not actively measuring it. I just noticed a *lot* of companies didn't include the information.

@kingrat thanks; I was just curious if you'd noticed any changes.

In my own job search, I finally found a prospective employer that ignores the pay transparency law badly enough to justify reporting it to the State of California. Apparently my options are to send email that they won't see for 3-5 days and/or submit a complaint and schedule an "intake interview", and the next available time slots are nearly 3 months out.

It sure looks like "Justice delayed is justice denied."
