I would argue that it simply isn't the responsibility of the state to ensure that there is a continuing market for a given set of skills. Sure, it's a problem when industries and job classes disappear - but keeping them around doesn't solve the problem, it only defers it. In many (most? all?) cases it even makes it worse.
