In my limited experience because of the threat of lawsuits many previous employers respond to prospective employers by answering only three questions regarding employment history: start date, leave date, and final salary. No recommendations, no critique of work habits, etc. Its not worth it.
my understanding (in alabama at least) is that it is illegal for me to talk negatively about an employee to a potential employer.

I think the only other thing you can ask here is whether they were terminated or left the job in good standing. Anything additional can get you in some hot water.
I will say this, I do question the quality of the employer if they can't figure out a general job salary from an applicants job history. As someone else said, it's right there on the Bureau of Labor Statistics website with median salary and range.

No, not quite. In the case of a job interview, the employer gets exclusive access to the employee's salary information. It's not made public, and the employee doesn't get to compete with others, having knowledge of their salaries, unlike the prices in a store.
Exclusive access? What employer makes a potential employee sign a non-disclosure agreement about his or her former job salaries before even offering that employee a job? The person selling their time/labor is always free to publish their rates in any way they want to.

As the employee progresses they become more valuable and therefor worth a higher salary
as someone who has worked in payroll with several companies I can tell you people who stay with a company for 20 years + are severely underpaid vs. employees who move around every 4-5 years.

My mom had difficulty finding employement partly because she was making much more at her previous job. Even though she was out of work and told them she would take a lesser position for less pay they'd tell her she was overqualified and they wouldn't be able to match previous salary,
