Mobile (Labor)
Ability of workers to move between jobs/locations.
Real World
Polish plumbers moving to the UK after 2004 EU expansion demonstrated high geographical mobility, while low-skilled factory workers in declining UK steel towns struggled to retrain and relocate, showing occupational immobility.
Exam Focus
Distinguish geographical from occupational mobility; 'analyse' questions need a developed chain of reasoning with a consequence.
