Non-compete clauses may not be as restrictive as they once were in California. Jesse Russell reports:

On Wednesday the California Supreme Court ruled that employers can’t limit the right of former employees to work for competition. The court ruled that “non-compete” clauses conflict with the rights of “employee mobility” and “open competition.” In the unanimous decision, one justice wrote the “an employer cannot by contract restrain a former employee from engaging in his or her profession, trade, or business.”
