Non-competes shouldn't be a thing for most employees.

Unemployment in eg the US is fairly low. So you can pick companies which have less stringent non-competes (or non at all).

When I go back to the US, I pick states by which have limited non-competes.

Limiting yourself to voting with your wallet/feet, while corporations use every trick in the book, is like trying to win at chess using only pawns.

Jobs on offer are fewer than number of unemployed.

Therefore jobs are scarce.

Only when there is a vast surplus of jobs will competition do the work. Until then you need regulation.

Or we could not allow unconscionable contract terms.

Labor rights shouldn’t be governed by employment metrics.

And regulators that dont cite "low unemployment" when they raise interest rates.

That's a fair point. Competition between states to attract people (and business) is good.

They actually do, from time to time.
