Workers are not a liquid, they will not easily flow to where they are needed. There are many reasons for people to not want to move: losing touch with family and/or friends, dealing with finding new schools (if you have kids), the logistics and cost of moving all of your things, selling your home, finding a new home, is the cost of living difference favorable, the logistics of finding new doctor(s), the list goes on and in the end, you might be let go before the moving truck even arrives. This is why we should have national health care, it will ease some of the friction in workers' ability to move freely. But then again, companies want workers to be dependent on that job they currently have.
