> Every business, from tiny boutiques to online giants like Amazon, tell you exactly how much each of their items costs. Why shouldn't it be the same when we're shopping for a job?

This is the opposite to how a job should be thought about. Shopping for a job seems to imply a business already owns my time, skills, etc. when they are really the ones searching. And transparency would further exacerbate that idea, as the job candidate is now bounded without even being able to show what they are capable of.

On the flip side, my employer is fully transparent about salaries from the c-suite all the way down and nobody seems to mind.
