As pay-transparency measures have increased across the US and more job postings include details on compensation, a new study shows that advertised salary ranges are getting wider in higher-paying occupations.

The widest ranges were seen in tech hubs and states that have implemented pay transparency laws, according to the study from Indeed Hiring Lab. While the ranges of pay listed for more typically white-collar jobs are widening, salary ranges for lower-paid roles have narrowed, the study shows.
