I am a huge proponent of normalizing work from home / remote work for this reason. Arbitrary, economically forced turnover (i.e., location requirements from corporations) is very disruptive for human life and childhood development. As a kid, I averaged one move per year due to job availability being tied to location of said job. If housing turnover was primarily a matter of personal preference, not economic necessity, the world would be a more stable, healthier place.
Factory work cannot be done from home. With re-industrialization trying to take off, there will be more factory work, with many positions requiring highly educated / trained professionals.
Reindustrualization is coming with automation. The people building the factory will go to the next one when this is done so they can live anywhere. Many of the machines need a specialist to repair, so that person just needs good access to an airport and can live anywhere.
Some people will go in daily, but the days of thousands of Union workers in a factory are gone. It will be hundreds.
