Deep dives
Impact of Non-Compete Agreements on Workers
Non-compete agreements restrict employees from working with competitors or starting similar businesses for a specified period after leaving a company. These contracts affect about 30 million Americans, contributing to wage stagnation and limiting job mobility. The FTC plans to implement a ban on non-compete clauses, potentially creating 8,500 new businesses annually and resulting in significant wage increases. Existing non-competes will become unenforceable for most workers, while only a small percentage of senior executives may still have such contracts in effect.
