FTC’s Ban on Non-Compete Agreements Will Have Big Impact on Future of Work: Vance Ginn

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is getting sued by the Chamber of Commerce and several business groups over banning non-compete agreements.

The FTC calls these agreements unfair, but some say the contracts protect trade secrets and encourage competitiveness. The rule is to take effect in August.
For insight, NTD’s David Lam spoke with Vance Ginn, president of Ginn Economic Consulting. Mr. Ginn also served as chief economist for the White House Office of Management and Budget.
