It's a waste of everyone's time if there isn't at least some sort of understanding of expected pay for a potential position.
A friend of mine interviewed for a job that has a national average of ~75k (state average is roughly the same), when they got down to discussing pay, the hospital wanted to pay her ~30k
ETA: more transparency is always better, IMO
This is a big part of the reason so many companies screen applicants based on their salary expectations nowadays. A lot of people get bent out of shape about it but it does prevent situations like the one you described.
That said, it’s also pretty one-sided and I do find it a little funny how companies want applicants to disclose their salary expectations up front, while rarely disclosing the salary band of the position up front.
Regardless I don’t think we need the government to intervene here.

While I agree, I hate walking into stores and they don't have prices on things. I hate the whole haggling thing like it's some third world bizarre.
The problem is is that in the third world bizarre that's their business. Trying to get an accountant to take 10 or 15k less than you could offer...It's not really your core competency as a company.
With government employees, you have full transparency, We can actually look them up by name and see exactly what they're paid.
I wouldn't be opposed to doing this for everybody. Why is what you're paid private? Constitutionally speaking

I never put my salary requirements and always put "negotiable" - I have turned down 11 jobs because the salary wasn't enough and I was super happy to do it as well, because it gives me interview experience and did nothing but waste the time of the company that refused to post something as easy as the salary range.
