The FTC, also known as the Federal Trade Commission, has introduced a groundbreaking regulation to safeguard employees’ right to work mobility, foster creativity, and promote the establishment of new businesses by abolishing noncompete agreements nationwide.

FTC’s Bold Move Against Noncompete Agreements

The FTC has boldly imposed a nationwide ban on noncompete agreements in work environments. Non-compete agreements are legal contracts or provisions that restrict employees from competing with their employers after leaving their job.

“Noncompete clauses restrict wages, stifle innovative ideas, and hinder the dynamism of the American economy, including the potential creation of over 8,500 new startups annually once noncompetes are eliminated,” stated FTC Chair Lina M. Khan. By banning noncompetes, the FTC’s final rule guarantees Americans the freedom to pursue new job opportunities, initiate new ventures, or introduce fresh ideas in the market.

FTC’s Prior Stand Against Noncompete Agreements

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) first proposed this rule in January 2023, receiving support from a large number of employees. The FTC estimates that the ban will raise worker wages by up to $488 billion over the next ten years, with an average worker’s earnings rising by an estimated $524 annually.

Additionally, the decision may impact up to 30 million Americans, or roughly one in five workers, in jobs ranging from minimum wage to executive. The rule is expected to go into effect in 180 days, but this date may be postponed because the U.S. Chamber of Commerce plans to sue the FTC.

According to the FTC’s projections, the final rule prohibiting noncompetes will cause the number of new firms to expand by 2.7% per year, resulting in the creation of over 8,500 new businesses annually. The final regulation is anticipated to reduce healthcare costs by up to $194 billion over the next ten years, and it is anticipated to increase worker wages, with an additional $524 in earnings forecast for the average worker annually.
