This paper argues that one must take account of the relationship between job mobility and migration when studying the determinants and consequences of the decision to migrate. The results indicate that there are three distinctly different types of geographic moves (associated with either a quit, layoff, or transfer) and an analysis that ignores this distinction can often lead to misleading conclusions about the role of such variables as the wage, the wife's labor force participation, the presence of school children and the length of residence in the migration process. |
