Non competes keep people from taking customers mostly.

Maybe that's why they started.. but not anymore and plus... there are ways to safeguard that information with other legal documents (it can be considered fraud if you can prove the customer information is worth a monetary value) without telling the employee you can't work in the industry for 2 years.

Now around 60% of all companies have some kind of version of a non-compete. From sandwich shops to real estate companies.
