It is supposed to be a general warning not to answer the question since it is the biggest scam question a company do for their own benefit. Giving too high amount may lead you to not land on the job, but too low then you just labeled yourself. And if ever you take the job, make sure to make up for this salary setback the next time you're negotiating your salary. Almost all job applications require to state the desired salary of the applicant. This is for their own benefit because they now gain the total control.

On November 8, Friday, President Barack Obama tries to shift the national conversation to economic growth from anger over insurance policy cancellations under his signature healthcare law, as he visits the Port of New Orleans.
