A new Washington state law will require employers to post salary ranges for jobs they're trying to fill, starting Jan. 1.

Why It Matters: Experts say disclosing salary ranges makes job hunting easier, while also helping reduce gender and racial pay inequities, Axios' Alex Fitzpatrick wrote in June.

Details: Last week, the state Department of Labor and Industries released a new administrative policy clarifying aspects of the new law.

• According to the department, vague language such as "$60,000 per year and up" or "up to $29 an hour" won't meet the new law's transparency requirements.

• Instead, job listings must include a clear salary minimum and maximum.

• Postings also must describe benefits associated with a job, including vacation days, health insurance and retirement plans.

What They're Saying: In a floor speech in February, state Sen. Emily Randall (D-Bremerton) called the measure "an important pay equity bill," adding that people "should be able to have all the relevant information before they apply for a job."

• Lawmakers who opposed the proposal argued it would put an unnecessary burden on companies looking to hire in Washington.

• "It'll chase more businesses to Idaho and Texas and Florida," state Rep. Jim Walsh (R-Aberdeen) said during a floor debate in March.

Of Note: The new Washington law applies to employers with 15 workers or more, even if most of a company's workforce is located out of state.

Colorado, California and New York City have recently passed similar pay transparency laws.

Every time I see someone post something about people needing to "go above and beyond at work because it's a competitive job market," I just want to gag, because no, it isn't a competitive job market, it's competitive wage theft, and that narrative was created just to fuel it.

Are You Aware That UAE Has Implanted Equal Wages and Salaries 

A new UAE law ensuring equal pay for men and women in the private sector came into operation on 25th September 2020. 

The government of the United Arab Emirates continues to ensure equal opportunity for men and women in the workplace. 

The UAE has made significant strides in recent years in its effort to promote gender equality. In 2015, it set up a committee called the ‘Gender Balance Council’, which is responsible to integrate the gender into policies and programmes, in addition implementing the gender balance in the leadership roles of the organizations. This initiative confronted the position of UAE among the countries in the aspect of gender balance. 

In 2018, the cabinet of UAE has approved the issuance of a law amendment of Equal Wages and Salaries for Men and Women with the intention to provide equal opportunities. In fact, UAE needs to empower women to lead the future UAE development to lead the future national strategies. This is also a part of the women empowerment of Emirti women launched by the government. As part of narrowing down the gender gap, UAE strives to ensure the rights and protection to support their role in national development. 

Does UAE Released Gender Balance Guide 

In the year of 2017, a gender balance guide was launched by Gender Balance Council, which states the actions to be performed by the UAE organizations. The guide recommends the following actionable points for the organization to keep check on the gender balance. They are: 

Implement an oversight and commitment for the gender balance 

Integration of gender related policies and programme 

Execute transparent gender sensitive information 

Employee engagement towards the gender balance 

Implementation of gender balance in the leading positions 

UAE’s Law Based on Equal Wages for Women and Men 

The UAE cabinet passed the law on equal wages and salaries for men and women, in 2018. This law clarifies the government’s objective in ensuring women equality and support in the process of empowering them. The national development strategies include the initiatives of empowerment of Emirati Women launched by the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood and Supreme Chairwoman of the Family Development Foundation. If the performance of a woman matches that of the others, she shall be given equal wages. According to Article 32 of the UAE labor law, the government strives to promote and empower social inclusions. 

Do you Know the Other Protection Measures for Working Women? 

Special provisions for women employees were laid down by the UAE’s labor law under the article 27 to 34. Listed here are the few noteworthy provisions. 

Women shall not be employed between the time 10:00 PM and 07:00 AM with the sector exceptions such as healthcare, technical and administrative services 

Women shall be entitled to all sort of maternity benefits 

Women shall not be entitled to the same wage or any kind of physically challenging jobs 

Women shall be entitled to same wage that a man would earn for the same job 

From 2018 labor law to the latest labor law, HRBluSky updates all the HR professionals of UAE with the industry trend and the government amendments.

President Joe Biden held a White House event on Friday to sign an executive order on abortion access, but before getting to the topic at hand, the Democrat wanted to focus some attention on an unrelated matter: the latest good news on job creation. From Biden’s remarks:

“Today, the Labor Department reported that we added 372,000 jobs last month — 372,000. Here’s why it’s important: Our private sector has now have recovered all the jobs lost during the pandemic and added jobs on top of that. We have more Americans working today in the private sector than any day under my predecessor, more today than any time in American history — today. In the second quarter of this year, we created more jobs than any quarter under any of my predecessors in nearly 40 years before the pandemic.”

It was tough to blame the president for wanting to highlight the good news. For one thing, as his approval rating sinks, it stands to reason that the White House would want to tout good news about such an important issue. For another, much of the public probably doesn’t realize that the job market has soared with unexpected and unpredicted strength under Biden, and the unemployment rate is lower now than at any point throughout the 1970s, 1980s, or 1990s.

What’s more, as we discussed last week, the economy has created 2.63 million jobs so far in 2022, and the year is only half-over. By any fair measure, that’s an extraordinary total, more in line with what we’d expect to see in a full year. In fact, more jobs have been created in the last six months than in any full year of Donald Trump’s term.

It was against this backdrop that House and Senate Republican leaders said ... nothing. The GOP has largely decided to pretend not to notice job growth at all.

Circling back to our recent coverage, it seemed at least possible leading Republican officials would argue that Democrats don’t deserve credit for the economic recovery. Or perhaps they’d argue that robust job growth was inevitable after the 2020 recession. Maybe they’d even try to say that Trump was somehow responsible for creating economic conditions he had nothing to do with.

But Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy instead ignored the economic news altogether: No press releases, no tweets, and no public comments. They literally found themselves speechless — just like last month and the month before that and the month before that.

As regular readers may recall, it was more than a year ago when we saw the worst month for job growth since Biden’s inauguration: In April 2021, the economy created 269,000 jobs. Under normal circumstances, that would’ve constituted a great total, but with the country still climbing out of its pandemic-driven hole, the April 2021 report was a disappointment.

Republicans wasted no time in pouncing on the data, blaming Democrats for the shortfall. McCarthy released this press statement soon after the data was released:

“Today’s disappointing jobs report confirms once again that President Biden’s tax-and-spend policies are bad for American workers, families, and small businesses.... Experts are calling this jobs report the ‘worst miss in 23 years’, and it was a direct result of President Biden’s counterproductive policies. So President Biden is not fixing a crisis, but creating new ones.”

In the days that followed, the House GOP leader continued to make a direct connection between the White House’s economic agenda and the U.S. job market. A week after April numbers were released, McCarthy again argued, “President Biden and Democrats will make excuses for this abysmal reality, but the truth is their own massive spending agenda created this problem.”

It wasn’t just McCarthy. The Republican National Committee connected Biden’s policies and job growth over and over and over again. McConnell’s Senate website blamed “persistent unemployment” on Democrats.

There was one important problem with this strategy: It was apparently based on the idea that the U.S. job market would continue to fall short for the indefinite future.

It did the opposite: The economy created over 6.7 million jobs in 2021, which was a record high that surpassed the total number of jobs created across each of Trump’s first three years in office combined. All told, we’re now up to over 9.37 million jobs since January 2021 — a total that seemed impossible as last year got underway.

The political problem for Republicans is obvious: If a discouraging monthly jobs report is proof that the Democratic economic agenda is a failure, then several months’ worth of encouraging monthly jobs reports is necessarily evidence that the Democratic economic agenda is a success.

The more GOP leaders say Biden is directly responsible for the nation’s economic conditions, the easier it is for the Democratic White House to take credit when those conditions look great.

It’s okay for Republicans to applaud good news for their own country. When the unemployment rate reached 3.6 percent in the last administration, for example, McCarthy was eager to celebrate. Does he care to explain why he has so little to say now?

Postscript: It’s important to note for context that the Republican National Committee did issue a press statement on Friday morning acknowledging the existence of the latest monthly jobs report. It credited “Republican-led states” for the good employment data.
