displaced workers
Economically uprooted employees
Displaced workers are employees who have lost their jobs due to circumstances beyond their control—factory closures, company relocations, technological change, or economic downturns.
The term emphasizes that these workers didn't quit or get fired for cause; their positions simply ceased to exist.
The displaced workers from the shuttered plant were offered retraining programs.
