Does banning non competes help if you don't already have businesses attracted to an area in some critical mass?

I can see how it could make for a vibrant scene if you already have incumbents, but if you are an area trying to attract them, I am not sure that works.

Without talent, your employer pool isn't going to grow much. Non-competes are one of many things to make the chicken and egg problem worse.
