So the easy question.....as in the title says. Yes you can talk about your wages in the states. This covers most employees in the united states as provided by the National Labor Relations Act. Some exceptions exist that are as follows as provided by the NLRB.
employed by Federal, state, or local government (this is public info anyways due to record laws)
employed as agricultural laborers
employed in the domestic service of any person or family in a home
employed by a parent or spouse
employed as an independent contractor
employed as a supervisor (supervisors who have been discriminated against for refusing to violate the NLRA may be covered)
employed by an employer subject to the Railway Labor Act, such as railroads and airlines
So what does this mean? That means it is damn hard to actually prove this was the reason you got fired. Voice recordings, emails, and other co-workers standing up for you is the only way to really prove you got fired for talking about your wages. Most folks work in At-Will states which means that you can be fired for any reason including not giving a reason. So the risk of talking about your wages still do exist.
You may be granted increased rights, like Colorado so you should check to see if you are lucky on that.
Good Luck if you decide to ask this question.
