U.S. bans noncompete agreements for nearly all jobs
Quick Glance: US implements ban on worker 'competition agreements' with business groups filing lawsuits
  • The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has approved a framework to eliminate agreements often signed by employees to refrain from joining their employers' competitors or establishing rival businesses.

  • The ban on noncompete agreements is projected to boost worker earnings by up to $488 billion over the next decade and facilitate the establishment of over 8,500 new businesses annually.

  • Prominent business associations have criticized the framework and declared legal actions, contending that noncompete agreements assist companies in safeguarding trade secrets and advancing competitiveness.

  • Unions have endorsed the FTC's vote in favor of the ban, hailing it as a significant triumph for workers that will enhance the national economy by fostering entrepreneurship.

Quick Glance: Zach Wilson Trade Notes: Jets Deal QB to Broncos before 2024 NFL Draft
  • Nearly three years have passed since the New York Jets selected quarterback Zach Wilson as the second overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and are now officially trading the heavily criticized signal-caller to the Denver Broncos.

  • At the age of 24, Wilson has been available since the beginning of the 2024 offseason, with the team's general manager, Joe Douglas, openly stating the intention to relocate the former first-round pick.

  • In urgent need of quarterback reinforcements, the Broncos made significant roster moves by releasing veteran starter Russell Wilson before free agency and entering the draft with Jarrett Stidham leading the depth chart.

  • By signing journeyman Tyrod Taylor as Aaron Rodgers' primary backup earlier this offseason, the Jets effectively indicated the conclusion of Zach Wilson's tenure with the team.

Quick Glance: Biden vows to keep U.S. Steel in American hands
  • President Joe Biden emphasized in a speech in Pittsburgh his commitment to keeping U.S. Steel in American hands and cracking down on unfair Chinese trade practices while lauding his successes in creating jobs and expanding manufacturing in the U.S.

  • The United Steelworkers recently endorsed the president for re-election, and Biden has sided with the union in opposing the sale of U.S. Steel to Japanese company Nippon Steel Corp.
