This is wrong in the jurisdiction I live in (Illinois) where an employment contract is allowed to state that outside work is not allowed.

Most contracts I’ve had will actually state “without manager approval” but that’s just as bad in many instances.

[later] Actually this became illegal in Illinois at the beginning of this year, though the protections don’t extend to clients or competitors.

The contract may state it

It's unenforceable, according to everyone I've interacted with in the state :)

It is now. As of Jan 1 2022. I can assure you it was enforced before that.
