'one moving to find job' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'i'm taken aback by greek worker' is the wordplay.
'taken aback' says the letters should be written backwards.
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'greek' becomes 'gr' (abbreviation for Greek).
'worker' becomes 'ant' (worker is a type of ant).
'im' in reverse letter order is 'mi'.
'mi'+'gr'+'ant'='MIGRANT'
