This depends entirely on where you are. This article is from last year, so it could have changed since then, but there is no federal prohibition on requesting your current pay in an interview, @AwkwardLookMonkeyPuppet@lemmy.world
Probably for the same reason its perfectly legal for a state with republican controlled state senate to hold a post-election lame duck session where they shove through a bunch of legislation limiting the powers of the state governor because their guy happened to lose the election
“How much money are you looking for in this role” is very common. “How much are you making right now” is not allowed.

It would sure be neat if the Democrats were as motivated to pass legislation as the Republicans can be.
They’re too busy trying to make their party so big tent that they guarantee no one in it will be able to agree on anything.
California definitely used to have a shit load of companies asking for salary history. Idk if the law has changed, or if it’s just not enforced.
