Bureaucrats huddled in some office somewhere failed to foresee the costs of their actions.
The pandemic has undoubtedly hastened the shift to remote work. Many workers and companies have now embraced remote work in previously office-based positions, and this is continuing even as the economy reopens and new jobs are posted. Many new remote positions are being posted advertising that applicants can live anywhere in the US—except Colorado. Here’s why. “A new Colorado law… 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 Wall Street Journal reports. “The rule’s aim is to narrow gender wage gaps and provide greater pay transparency for employees.” The result? “To avoid having to disclose that information... some employers seeking remote workers nationwide are saying that those living in Colorado need not apply,” the Journal notes.

Keaton Ems has deep roots in Oregon, but he's working to annex a huge swath of the state to Idaho. The third-generation Oregonian loves the land he calls home. His grandfather, Victor, was the first person to plant Christmas trees west of the Mississippi River and started an industry-based society for other tree farmers. Ems, 30, became a Christmas tree farmer himself and took up a brief stint as a horse breeder. Ems said the leaders of his state are out of touch with the everyday lives of rural Oregonians such as himself, so he joined a growing movement that aims to split 21 counties off from Oregon and place them under Idaho’s governance. Seven counties have voted to join, and five are gathering petition signatures to get the movement's proposal onto the ballot.
