α: calibrated so average coauthorship-adjusted count equals average raw count
We examine a nationwide state-level panel of job posting data from the well-known job site Indeed. We track the estimated impact of laws requiring salaries being included in the job posting — and discover an insignificant but persistent and consistent decline in the number of offerings in states passing such laws between the range of 1%–6%. This is particularly interesting given such salary bands are already established by the employers and therefore one might believe these values would be de minimis for employers to include.
