COLORADO, USA — Coloradans looking for work may be losing out on opportunities because companies will not hire them to possibly avoid complying with a law designed to fix pay inequities.

Colorado requires any employer with at least one employee in the state to post a salary range with a good faith floor and ceiling for what they are willing to pay. This is in response to the Equal Pay for Equal Work Act that became active this year.

9Wants to Know reviewed job postings for remote positions and found 10 companies said they would be receptive to hiring anyone in the United States - unless they live in Colorado.

Nike has not responded to our request for comment as of this publishing but said they will release a statement in the near future.

State Sen. Jessie Danielson (D - Wheat Ridge) said job advertisements like these fly in the face of the Equal Pay for Equal Work Act, which she sponsored.
