- It requires all employers with four or more employees to post a good faith salary range in advertisements for new jobs, transfers or promotion opportunities for any position that can be carried out in New York City.

September 2022
- Working women are facing extraordinary challenges in the US today. But it’s not the same for everyone: from one state to the next, policies around wages, protections, and rights vary dramatically.
- Dr. Kaitlyn Henderson, Senior Research Advisor for Oxfam America’s US Domestic Policy Program, and Seher Khawaja, Legal Momentum’s Senior Attorney for Economic Empowerment, published a piece, "We Must Value and Respect Women's Work" on Oxfam's blog detailing the many ways in which women's work is undervalued in our society and how the lack of national policies and protections for working women, especially those with dual caretaking roles, prevent women from reaching full equality within our economy.
- Featured in the piece are two resources critical to advocating for more robust protections for working women: Legal Momentum’s Working Woman’s Bill of Rights and Oxfam’s Best States for Working Women Index.
