Absolutely. It's like with housing, in an ideal system there will be some vacant housing but everyone will be housed. There is going to be some give to the system as people move around between houses.
Similarly, people moving between jobs might have a period of unemployment, and that's okay. What is vital is to have a safety net that lets them more or less maintain their standard of living so they're not dissuaded from reaching for better opportunities. A weak or non-existent safety net hands power to employers because employees may not have the option of leaving a bad job to seek out something better.
