Non-compete agreements are difficult to enforce. If you don't steal customers, they have a hard time preventing you from earning a living.
You should, of course, consult an attorney in your area that knows the laws in your state.

Noncompete Agreement?
Get StartedThe Noncompete Agreement is an agreement under which one party (the "Noncompeting Party") agrees not to compete with another party (the "Protected Party"). The need for this type of agreement can arise from a number of circumstances. Examples include; (i) business parties that are terminating their working relationship, (ii) a buyer (the Protected Party) who is purchasing a business from its current owner (the Noncompeting Party), and (iii) an employer/employee relationship that is being terminated.In such cases, the Protected Party may wish to obtain agreements from the Noncompeting Party stating that the Noncompeting Party will not; (i) engage in a similar business, or (ii) solicit the Protected Party's customers or employees.In some cases, the employer may have already obtained some protection from competition by including a Noncompete Provision in an employment agreement. Generally, the Noncompete Agreement should not be used with such an employee, unless the agreement is being used in connection with a termination.The Noncompete Agreement should be signd by both parties and becomes effective as of the date specified in the Agreement.

Is a noncompete clause binding if the company lays you off?
Under New York law, the general rule is that a non-compete clause will not be binding if the employer fires you. As with most things, though, there are exceptions to the general rule. The most significant exception to be aware of is if the employer offers you severance benefits in exchange for signing the non-compete. Under those circumstances, the non-compete will continue to be binding as long as you are receiving the severance benefits. The contract you voluntarily signed will specify how layoff affects your noncompete restrictions.
