The study examined self-reported earnings and quarterly federal wage data from the two-year period surrounding the law’s effective date of Jan. 1, 2021. Both data sets show that worker pay rose 1.3% higher in Colorado when compared to other states.

Those positive effects for employees occurred despite the fact that compliance with the law isn’t universal; the NBER study found the percentage of job postings disclosing salary data rose from 35% to 70% in the year following implementation. More recent analyses have estimated that 1 in 5 job postings in Colorado are still noncompliant with the law.
