A recent survey by Bank of America found that 27 percent of Gen Z, currently adults between 18 and 29, talk about their salary and income with friends, compared to 20 percent of Millennials, 12 percent of Generation X, and only 3 percent of Boomers. This shift in conversation is seen as a positive development in an uncertain economy as young people enter the labor market. Companies are responding to this trend of salary transparency by posting salaries in their listings. Some states are considering legislation to encourage salary transparency. Factors such as uncertainty, higher cost of living, and increasing state and local legislation around pay transparency are contributing to this shift.
