Which Industries Use Noncompetes? 

Noncompetes affect a wide range of industries. These can be high-level employees such as engineers and executives. But it can also affect smaller-scale jobs such as hairstylists and workers in a warehouse. 

Often, employees do not have a choice in signing a noncompete. If they fail to sign it, then the employer simply will not hire them. Employees who refuse to sign noncompetes rob themselves of many valuable opportunities.
