Which is why as I mentioned the information should be aggregated.
It still leaves people with flawed impressions. I make $75K a year and my dept. average is $90K that tells me nothing since there's one guy who makes $175K because he can write any program you throw at him in less than a day. I'm actually the #2 on the pay scale, but because I'm looking at an average, suddenly I'm pissed that I'm making less than average. Go to median and I can show similar cases where a false impression can be created.
At the end of the day, it's the employee and the employer who need to know what the employee is making and no one else. If you think that you're being discriminated against, take them to court and prove it using Title VII to back yourself up.
