1). Best candidates will no longer cost more than lesser qualified, so even steeper barrier to anyone not at the top of their class, or in the best schools.
2). Employers will have a virtual monopsony on setting salary. Everyone’s salary goes down. Thank you handicapper general. Don’t expect even the women to thank you for this.
3). Employers will still find ways to capture folks who have the will to negotiate non-salary compensation. Qualified people will end up rising faster, or even starting at a higher level in the company.
Really, worst idea one could conceive for workers all around. Let ms. Caplan bricker offer herself to be the first to have her salary set blindly.
That $0.78 to $1.00 ratio sounds about right. The company that I work for has pretty much all men in Engineering. We’d have no problem with women, but, none apply when we have an opening. Our Sales and Procurement departments have a majority of women, mostly younger women. At any given time they have between 15-20% of their people out on maternity leave. In order to cover their obligations these departments have to over-man these positions. We also have a significant number of women, in these departments, who leave after having their child, so there is a constant number of new people who need training.
And of course the article starts off with the 78 cent lie. After that, you know where it’s going. The number is 3 cents when accounting for legitimate, job-related factors.

I’m in hiring. Women negotiate all the time.
Or as I look at it, if you’re going to do 78% of the work, you’re only worth 78% of the pay. Do the job complete, and I’ll pay you according to your skills and negotiated compensation. .

I’m not being sexist, this is just reality.
