Louisiana is set to restrict noncompetes for physicians, and Minnesota turns its attention to banning most disintermediation (no-poach) agreements for temporary workers.
No one ever points to North Dakota’s or Oklahoma’s ban on noncompete as producing a thriving tech sector, because they haven’t. Yet, somehow think that the same ban in California is why we have Silicon Valley. This assumption is wrong for multiple reasons. Worse, it leads to poor policy.
