The Government can't afford its current size so I don't favour adding more
legislation. Employers pay to keep up with legislation. The Government
pays to police it. That all needs to be outweighed by the benefit.

I find it a bit annoying when money isn't discussed in a job advert.
If I were looking for work and it was a ‘buyer's market’ then I'd skip
that advert and move on. I would be rewarding employers who give a
rate. If a job board sees rate-giving employers are getting more clicks
then their ads might rise through the search results. Or perhaps the
board would make rate giving a sort criteria as it learns job seekers
click more and it likes clicks as it correlates with income.
There's lots to try before more law.
