Big companies are hiring for remote positions that can be performed in any state across the U.S. except one: Colorado.
At issue is a new Colorado law that requires companies with even a few employees in the state to disclose the expected salary or pay range for each open role they advertise, including remote positions. The rule’s aim is to narrow gender wage gaps and provide greater pay transparency for employees. To avoid having to disclose that information, though, some employers seeking remote workers nationwide are saying that those living in Colorado need not apply.
Across the internet, an array of job listings state the work can’t be done in Colorado. At Johnson & Johnson, roles recently posted for a commercial finance senior manager and a senior manager in operations include this caveat: “Work location is flexible if approved by the Company except that position may not be performed remotely from Colorado.” At commercial real-estate giant CBRE Group Inc., an ad for a project management director notes in bold: “This position may be performed remotely anywhere within the United States except the State of Colorado.”
At pharmaceutical distributor McKesson Corp. , postings for a sales specialist and a research quality manager include similar disclaimers. Job listings for a scientist, an account executive and a manager of international tax planning at rival Cardinal Health Inc. also note: “This is a remote, work from home position. This role is to be filled outside of the state of Colorado.”…

Interesting to see what the impact of remote working will be, where you live is no longer necessarily tied to where you work, going to have some interesting ramifications for real estate.
Companies are responding to the incentives and constraints, Mr. Batilo. It happens regardless of your feelings.

Ha... so they figured out that a higher percentage of the folks living in Colorado are stoners?
Provided that you have a high speed internet connection which will be the limiting factor on where you could work from.....would love to work remotely, especially from our travel trailer.
Definitely, and it's going to have interesting ramifications for employees. They're now competing with people willing to work for less who live in a lower cost of living area. The "back office" isn't just outside the city; it's two states away.
Is there a list of these companies doing the hiring?
It's many companies. They include "remote work" or "remote work option" in the job listings.
I know! I know!
Just pass a law saying employers must pay all employees equally, no matter what their job or how many hours they work or if they even show up!
EQUITY! YEAH!
Less then 3 years ago we had 2 people get permission to move out of state and keep their jobs. One to Arizona and the other to Idaho. Less then 6 months later a new manager was hired and he wanted everyone back in the office. Not going to happen so these 2 lost their jobs. Now we are all working from home. I got an email from one who was upset about this back in Nov.
We now have many temp workers working from Georgia, Florida and New Jersey and California and I do not know how many other states. The new ones hired for 30/hrs a week so expect much turnover. We have had 4 managers pushed out and one supervisor. We only have one supervisor left in Calif and I suspect he is looking for a new job. He has been ‘absent’ 6 times this year. This has not happened in past years so probably on job interviews.....
