You make the erroneous assumption that these people are defective and are default not qualified.

Retraining has been tried and has failed every time when taken at scale.

Just have the tech firms and the like cut huge, straight, salary replacement checks to the citizens who they harm.

I ran a corporate networking team in the 2000s with two of the five network engineer team members, being two years out of retraining (they were welding specialists in the former local shipbuilding industry). Non-white collar supervisory and work ethic issues, but excellent work in general. Had an issue with the team on-call car getting bullet holes once (suspect some drug dealing on the side, long story!) but excellent colleagues in general.

I've worked with a lot of retrained and second-career people and I can't sing their praises enough.
