Exactly. "Promoting liquidity in the labor market" sounds like a great thing, until you realize that, with increased "liquidity" comes a tremendous amount of increased non-productive costs and inefficiencies. When recruiters get 30% of an employee's yearly salary as a finder's fee, higher liquidity tends to decrease the pool of money available to employees (while increasing recruiter commissions) which results in all sorts of things that aren't good for the employees, in the end. High turnover also allocates more resources for training and other startup costs, rather than focusing on production. While, yes, changing jobs for you personally might be good in some situations, promoting "labor liquidity" is a bad thing as a whole, for both employers and employees, in a sort of "tragedy of the commons" way.
