It's interesting how minority hiring impacts the workplace.
I used to work in a foreign jurisdiction with a large expat (read white) community with a native black majority.

There was a "soft" quota of local blacks that foreign companies had to hire as a proportion of total employee headcount.
Companies that didn't toe the line suddenly found work permits issuances or renewals for expats being delayed for months.
Anyway, in a lot of cases, the companies hired the quota and pretty much siloed the locals in non-productive roles because they could never fire them either.

Wait, what does that have to do with minority hiring in the US?

I'm in favor of wage disclosure simply because it'll be hilarious to see all the workplace spats arise due to workers finding out that they're grossly underpaid or overpaid.

I just don't think it'll solve anything.

It would solve many of the issues it sets out to solve. It would have solved part of the problem that led to career-spanning inequity for people like Lilly Ledbetter.
