Non-competes are usually about proprietary information / intellectual property. Amazon does not want someone learning their secret sauce recipe and then take it next door and start using it. That same non-compete also means you might not be able to get a higher paying job next door, which is a side-effect that only benefits employers.

It is illegal in all 50 states to use trade-secret information at a new employer. See Anthony Levandowski. A Non-compete is about labor market, wage, and competition suppression.
