What? "Answer this question or I'm not hiring you." (as long as the question is not one of a lawfully prohibited class of questions) is not coercion it's negotiation. By your reasoning if I went into an interview and flat refused to answer any question they would, what, be forced to hire me? This whole conceptualization is broken.

Anytime the other party says "or else" it's just a negotiating tactic to see if you're gonna fold.

> be forced to hire me?

Forced? Of course not. They're not holding a gun on you, and you're not holding a gun on them.

Yes, and that's why your previous comment made no sense...

> you are compelled to answer any question an employer asks

Nobody is "compelling" anyone in this situation.
