In many economic contexts, footloose laborers are those whose work is not tied to a fixed location, allowing them to move according to job availability.
Seasonal migrant workers are often referred to as Footloose labourers because they do not stay in one place for a long time. They move from one region to another in search of temporary work, usually in sectors such as agriculture and construction. The term highlights their lack of permanence in any specific job or location.
