Free Republic gives capitalism a bad reputation. They love “free” market forces but only when they work in their favor.
Well I know multiple people who have to settle for significantly lower wage jobs due to non compete clauses with their former employers.
——————-
Generally unenforceable after 6 months, depending on the state. California they are illegal.
Some states ban or bar enforcement once employee is a former employee, or only allow it in the breakup of a partnership.
Some states do allow a lifetime and global ban on future employment in a certain job field.
36 to 60 million Americans are currently subject to non-compete clauses.
MAKE UP TO $20.00 PER HOUR WITH TIPS!!!
Why limit to $20? With very generous tippers, one could make UP TO 50 or 100 even.

Same as DoorDash as the other gig delivery services. Base is $3 per delivery. Mostly you can get 2 deliveries in an hour. That’s $6 an hour. The apps “suggest” another $3 to $4 tip, but it’s not required. Some areas - like college towns don’t tend to tip at all. So typically $14/hr Maximum.
The $100 tips are unicorns. You might get them once in your life as a driver (usually around Christmas)
That’s before gas, maintenance, wear and tear on your vehicle.
With gas prices nearly double in some cases, all your income is going into the tank.
And most drivers are not financially secure enough to wait for the car-mileage deduction at the end of the year.
Well DoorDash and others *do* advertise you can make up to $440 a week (in Denver)
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce wants to end those extra government payouts because they’re enticing people to stay home.

Ah, the original low-wage advocates.
The pro-Chinese manufacturer and pro-Indian outsourcing and Indian H1B idiots.
The never met a job they didn’t want outsourced or an decent job they didn’t want a Indian or Mexican to take. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce wants to end those extra government payouts because they’re enticing people to stay home.
They complained bitterly about the Trump Chinese tariffs, the Trump banning of Indian H1Bs and the Trump border restrictions.
Now they complain that Americans don’t want low-wage dead end jobs.
Notice in the article they mentioned restaurants. Who in the hell would want to work for $2.13 an hour plus tips with a chin diaper all day and dining capacity restrictions?
Only the foolish and the desperate.
Only $300 around here.
But did you QUIT or were you let go?
If they don't NEED you any more; then I should think that the ncc would become invalid.
“...email from a veterans group...”
If the email was for employment opportunities for veterans, it can be under different circumstances than with the general public. About 2.19 million military troops will retire in 2021 alone. They will be receiving retirement pay, disability pay possibly, most get 30%, and will have the option of commissary, exchange, and recreational use for the rest of their lives. That group doesn’t look at money the same way. I didn’t.
I took a job with Walmart to supplement my retirement and quit them when they treated me below my acceptable standards (adult). All the groups seeking employees on the first of your list are all high turnover. They spit people out for a couple of reasons and replace them with warm bodies. And the others with limitations are perfect for the stay at home federal funds digester.
BUT as long as the feds supplement the people who could work with enough so they don’t have to or care if they do, then they won’t. And if they do, if the physical work like at Amazon or Fedex is too great, or they don’t like the treatment at Walmart or McDonalds, they will play the game long enough to receive unemployment insurance and fed help. And they can become an employee of your tax dollars sitting in the parents basement playing video games.
