Some blue states and cities are doing this along with the Eu. They require job postings to list salary. On paper it seems good from a leftie perspective but some studies have shown this actually lowers overall salary while boosting women.

Anyway obviously no.

In a study published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, researchers analyzed the salaries of 100,000 academics over 20 years. As websites made their salaries easily searchable, the gender pay gap improved by almost 50 percent. But the gap between academics who performed best — based on markers like publications, awards, grants and patents — and those who performed less well also shrank.

Imagine thinking that publicizing information about a company’s willingness to pay for a specific position could somehow result in a worse or less efficient allocation of labor and capital. Cringe.

Pay is more equal under "transparency" regimes because employers respond by weakening incentives and essentially dropping any pretense of a link between performance and pay.  This has predictable outcomes:  motivation declines and the best employees flee for jobs willing to recognize their ability.
