Banning noncompete clauses would be an economic game changer

[BidenPresident]

The Federal Trade Commission’s proposal to ban noncompete agreements would be an economic game changer, affecting up to one-fifth of American workers. Noncompetes forbid workers from starting a similar company or working at a rival firm for up to several years. The agency is right to be concerned. It should move forward with a partial ban covering low- and middle-income workers.

Allowing competitors to immediety steal your advances and the people you trained would certainly be a game changer, in the negative. It ruins the incentive to do better.
