You would expect them to have higher salaries, to compensate employees for the risk of being prohibited from working for N months after their employment terminates.

Higher initial salaries perhaps, but lower annual increases, since employees don't have as many jobs to switch to so there is less incentive for raises.

It appears that you are making the unstated assumptions that these employees have experience in exclusively non-transferable skills and that they had no knowledge of future changes in salary at the time they accepted the agreement. I find both of these claims to be dubious at best; if you have supporting evidence, please enlighten me.
