People in D.C. aren't shy about talking about how much they make. And D.C. recently passed a law requiring employers to post salary ranges, which will go into effect this June. Last March, we chatted with Hannah Williams, the woman behind the Salary Transparency TikTok account, about why she covers salary transparency, why it’s important and what she wants to see in these kinds of salary transparency laws.
