The commission said that if approved, the final rule "would generally prevent most employers from using noncompete clauses.". Approximately one in five Americans, spanning minimum wage workers to CEOs, are subject to noncompete agreements, the FTC estimates. . The Biden administration says that these types of agreements hurt workers by decreasing wages. The White House also argues that these agreements harm the U.S. economy because entrepreneurship isn't allowed to freely flourish. . FTC Chair Lina M. Khan issued a statement when the proposed ban was initially introduced. The freedom to change jobs is core to economic liberty and to a competitive, thriving economy, FTC Chair Lina M. Khan, via statement. Noncompetes block workers from freely switching jobs, depriving them of higher wages and better working conditions, and depriving businesses of a talent pool that they need to build and expand, FTC Chair Lina M. Khan, via statement. Businesses argue that noncompete agreements are essential for safeguarding investments and proprietary information. Those businesses also question whether the agency has the power "to regulate such agreements," NPR reports. .

'Grants Pass v. Johnson' seeks to challenge two 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rulings which found fining or jailing the unhoused to be cruel and unusual punishment when they have no other alternative. But Grants Pass argues that public health and safety are dependent on camping restrictions that are commonly found across America. . The city contends that homeless encampments pose a danger to those living in them, as well as to families and children. This is because the encampments are often filled with people who need mental health and drug addiction resources. Advocates for the unhoused say that criminalizing sleeping outside is counterproductive. . Punishing someone for doing something they have no control over, no ability to not do, is not going to end that status. In fact, not only does criminalization not work, it makes matters worse. , Ed Johnson of the Oregon Law Center, via NPR. A criminal record and debt from fines would make it even more difficult for a homeless person to find housing, says Ed Johnson of the Oregon Law Center. But many cities don't have enough permanent housing to offer. Grants pass could use about 4,000 more housing units, while the national "deficit is in the millions," NPR reports.
