Philadelphia Bans Employers from Asking about Salary History
Philadelphia became the first city in the nation to bar employers from asking potential hires to provide their salary history.
Mayor Jim Kenney, a Democrat, signed the measure, and said: "I know that Comcast and the business community are committed to ending wage discrimination, and I'm hopeful that moving forward we can have a better partnership on this and other issues of concern to business owners and their employees," he said. "This doesn't need to be an either/or argument — what is good for the people of Philadelphia is good for business, too."
