Evaluation of Data. Part II: The Measurement of Change: A Comparison of Retrospective and Panel Surveys In: Migration, Employment, and Occupational Mobility. Philadelphia, PA: Population Studies Center, University of Pennsylvania, 1977 Cohort(s): Mature Women, Older Men Publisher: Population Studies Center, University of Pennsylvania Keyword(s): Census of Population; Earnings; Educational Attainment; Migration; Mobility; Occupations; Quits; Research Methodology Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper compares certain basic findings from the NLS and similar measures from the 1970 Census of Population, with a view to determining the extent to which they differ and the extent to which the patterns of labor force mobility described by each are similar. Although the findings presented are of considerable substantive interest, the primary purpose is methodological. In general, the two surveys of labor market behavior have been in remarkable agreement on the very broad aspects presented here, with the single important exception of the level of occupational mobility. |

Migration, Employment, and Occupational Mobility: A Study of Trends and Interrelations and an Evaluation of Data Final Report, Employment and Training Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 1981 Cohort(s): Older Men Publisher: U.S. Department of Labor Keyword(s): Census of Population; Educational Attainment; Migration; Mobility; Occupational Status The report utilizes data for l955-75 (NLS and l970 Census Retrospective data) to present evidence that: (1) recently noted migration from metropolitan areas of the Northern regions toward the South and West is a continuation of a trend observable at least since l955-60; (2) the primary migration flow is intermetropolitan; (3) intermetropolitan migrants in general have high educational attainment and occupational status; (4) the marked tendency for migrants to a given metropolitan area to resemble occupationally those who leave that area has continued; and (5) in general, neither occupational nor geographic mobility function very efficiently as mechanisms for effecting structural change. Each is characterized by extensive flow and counterflow and the resulting net changes are generally a small proportion of the total amount of gross mobility on the part of the individuals. |
