Apparently you can get anyone's declared income with just a phone call, maybe that's what they're referring to: https://www.businessinsider.com/sweden-salaries-freely-avail...

If that's possible, you can at least in theory try to find a representative sample of current employees and get an idea of how much you could realistically get paid.

I believe Sweeden, Finland, and Norway each publish the income/tax returns of all citizens.

Except at least in Norway it's total taxable income, so it's after various adjustments.

However for most people it should be representative and you should be able to get a good estimate of how much they're paid.

I think you're right. Edited for clarity.

That's brilliant.

Some blue states (I would be shocked to see Republicans support this, despite the fact more information is very pro-market) institute this and maybe someday at the federal level as voters warm up to the idea.
