It increases employers' leverage over their employees. That isn't bad for employers.

Even employers who are restricted from hiring will benefit in the form of lower wages and a more pliable workforce.

It will help some employers & hurt others, but Idaho has been trying to boost their small tech scene. To do that they need out of state transplants. This law makes it less likely for that to happen.

To say nothing of the opportunity costs of the lowered economic output.
