The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has voted to implement a near-total ban on noncompete agreements, affecting approximately 30 million American workers. This decision, passed with a 3-2 vote, aims to eliminate existing noncompete clauses and prevent the formation of new ones, enabling workers to switch jobs or start new businesses more freely. The FTC argues that this move will increase wages and spur the creation of thousands of new businesses. However, the ban is expected to encounter legal challenges.
