You can close factories you want workers to leave. You can set priorities for factories you want them to move to first clicking on the three bars under inputs.
 
I didn't want to close the factories. I face two problems: 1) a factory fills up with craftsmen, so there's no room for clerks, and 2) I have factories which need workers, but the unemployed workers nearby don't move there.
 
They can. But clerks should be hired first, when factory is closed and reopened.
 
I just wrote you what to do.
