Are we looking at a perpetual population of people moving and retraining and moving and retraining and moving and retraining?

Why, yes!
Two whole new populations. The American Migrant Worker, following changes in the economy to new training, new jobs, new obsolete industries. Move again, train again, move again...

But think of how many jobs for the Migrant Worker 1-Off population! Building and maintaining vast people-movers. A network of mobile homes about the size of a boxcar. Pack them up, roll them to a housing-park near a new training center, then roll them to another housing-park near the new industry.
Building and maintaining the mobile homes, the housing-parks, the new modular schools, the modular communities, the modular commute (Car? No, everything we got is invested in a double-long housing trailer...), providing the training...

Migrant police forces that follow the crowds to police the concentrations of learners and workers...

Politicians need no longer promise 'jobs jobs jobs,' just 'job. For at least as long as the next election...'
 
I have moved 5 or 6 times for work.

I should have told them I was white so they needed to bring their job to me, I guess. Or made the government fix it. Somehow. Not sure how.
 
I think there's a grain of truth to it. Some of you might remember my trek down here to Florida. Before that I lived in a suburb of Indianapolis. There's no bus service there, the nearest bus stop being 15 miles away. I had lost my job, had no savings and I was trying to share a car with my SO and trying to support our daughter, and paying child support as well. The only decent jobs to be had were downtown, and the environment I was in was dangerous. So, I waited until tax time and moved. We stayed in two shelters over 7 months until we could get back on our feet; a time I don't like to reflect on. Now we're living paycheck to paycheck, but she's going to school, I've been working full time since 2013 and we have our own place. Sometimes you have to know when to get out of dodge.

How'd that transition period from out of work manufacturing worker/coal miner to employed lord of the universe go?

I don't think anyone is suggesting that individuals moving for better job prospects isn't sometimes the best choice; but the OP article seems to be suggesting that entire towns need to move and that this will somehow fix the lack of good jobs in this country. It wont . it just shifts the problem from small towns to big cities.

Interestingly, it sounds like you moved from a larger city to a smaller community. (I lived for about 5 years in Clearwater)
