In a big move for equity and in line with APAP's commitment to REDI (racial equity, diversity and inclusion), the APAP Job Bank now requires that employers include a salary range in all new job postings. APAP believes that pay transparency is a critical step toward pay equity and benefits both the job seeker and the employer.
Return to the Stage, a study of performing arts workers in the United States, found that employees in the arts place a greater value on salary than in the past. In a APAP|NYC+ 2022 pre-conference Fieldwide Conversation,
The Future of Work: Workforce and Workplace Strategies for the Performing Arts, many participants voiced their agreement that salary transparency is the right thing to do both from an equity standpoint and from a business perspective.
