Employment Status and the Decision to Migrate
利用1965-1970年美国州际劳动力数据，检验了年龄、教育和公共服务对就业者和失业者迁移决策的影响，发现教育选择性在失业的潜在首次迁移者中不显著，福利服务影响微弱，但失业显著改变了教育质量和培训可及性在迁移决策中的作用。
The purpose of this paper is to examine demographic and socioeconomic determinants of migration for both employed and unemployed. Hypotheses concerning effects of age education and public services are developed and tested using data on interstate migration of U.S. labor force from 1965 to 1970. For individuals at-risk to either primary or repeat migration age and education selectivity of migration were in general confirmed. However for unemployed potential primary migrants education selectivity was not observed. It was also found that the provision of welfare services have little or no impact on migration decision of unemployed....However unemployment was shown to significantly affect role played by educational quality and training accessibility within migration decision.
