This is explictly restricting speech (restricting the right to advertise for labor) and would have to meet a high first amendment bar in the US.

Pay transparency law supporters have argued successfully that there is a compelling interest in closing gender and racial wage gaps and that salary range information can be mandated in job listings for that purpose. What's the compelling interest in this case that allows the government to control speech?

Oh please! Every time scammers are told to behave, they run around claiming their "free speech" is being impacted.

Free speech is about expressing opinion and fact. It doesn't grant you the right to lie and deceive.
