Illinois State Employers May No Longer Ask About Salary History

Governor J.B. Pritzker recently signed an executive order that bans state employers from asking salary history questions to job applicants.  The state is following Chicago’s lead, where the mayor had signed a similar executive order last year that prevents city of Chicago employers from asking job applicants about their previous salaries.  Will private employers be next?
