Evan Starr on the impact of noncompete clauses on workers

September 18, 2018  • Economic Opportunities Program

In September 2018, the Economic Opportunities Program hosted “The Justice System and Jobs: How Court Decisions Are Shaping Americans’ Work Lives,” which examined the critical role that courts have in setting the rules for the employer-employee relationship.

In this clip, Evan Starr of the University of Maryland discusses how noncompete clauses can limit workers’ wages and mobility.
