FTC Bans Non-Competes to Boost Worker Mobility and Innovation

The US Federal Trade Commission has implemented a new rule that prohibits most non-compete agreements nationwide, freeing up US workers to switch jobs without restrictions. This change is projected to lead to the creation of more businesses, higher wages for workers, lower healthcare costs, and increased patent filings. Tech workers, who commonly work under non-competes, are expected to benefit from more job opportunities and better pay due to the new regulation.
