The implication of the FTC’s vote to ban noncompete agreements, especially with approximately 30 million Americans currently covered by such agreements, suggests a significant shift in employment practices. This decision could potentially lead to increased labor mobility, allowing workers more freedom to change jobs without facing legal restrictions imposed by noncompete agreements. It may also foster competition and innovation within industries by preventing employers from limiting employees’ career opportunities.
