Out of curiosity: Why do such laws happen at state-level and not at federal level? Most jobseekers would be looking at jobs all over the country, correct?

Inside the HN tech bubble possibly. But outside of that the overwhelming majority of jobs are not in white-collar/remote-friendly work (and people change jobs far more often than they're willing to relocate so moving to a new state, or even city, for each new non-remote job isn't common either).
So no the majority of jobseekers are not looking for work "all over the country" - most are looking for jobs within a reasonable commuting distance of where they live.
Probably because the United States Congress is completely off the rails. Or, somewhat more charitably, there's no way in hell any bill that shifts the balance of power away from employers would make it through the Senate.
