The Returns to Migration: The Influence of Education and Migration Type Growth and Change 44,4 (December 2013): 589-607. Also: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/grow.12022/abstract Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Wiley Online Keyword(s): Educational Attainment; Migration; Wage Growth Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. We show the impact of migration type on real wages over time. We create a migration and earnings history from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth over the period 1979–2002. We estimate the effects of primary, onward, and two types of return migration on real wages using a panel data model with individual, location, and time fixed effects. Panel data are well suited for the study of the returns to U.S. internal migration because the influence of migration on wages has been found to occur years after the event. We differentiate return migration into two types: return to a location with ties that form a geographical anchor (“home”) and return to a prior place of work. We find that real wage growth varies by migration type. Education attainment is a significant factor in real wage growth. Our results show that onward migration is an important channel by which the monetary rewards to a college education are manifested. |

Labor Market Impacts of Post-school Occupational Training for Young Men Growth and Change 18,4 (Fall 1987): 57-73 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: College of Business and Economics, University of Kentucky Keyword(s): Educational Attainment; Educational Returns; Job Training; Racial Differences; Schooling, Post-secondary; Training, Occupational; Training, Post-School Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The period 1966 to 1976 was a decade of change, contrast, and challenge. In this article, a model contrasting the labor market experience of young men who participated in post-school occupational training during this period with those young men who did not participate is developed and then estimated using data from the NLS of Young Men. Participation in post-school forms of occupational training is identified as a significant contributor to individual labor market success during the period and racial differences in returns to training are highlighted. The results prompt questions concerning the direction of current federal training policies for the disadvantaged. |

Unemployment Duration in Non-Metropolitan Labor Markets Growth and Change 32,2 (Spring 2001): 174-192. Also: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/0017-4815.00155 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Wiley Online Keyword(s): Economics, Regional; Employment; Geocoded Data; Unemployment Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Non-metropolitan areas of the U.S have experienced significant structural economic changes in recent decades. These changes have raised concerns that some non-metropolitan workers may face significant costs to employment displacements associated with economic adjustments. This paper explores the roles that linkages to metropolitan labor markets, area labor market conditions, and individual attributes play in determining the rates of exit from unemployment to employment among non-metropolitan area residents. Adjacency to a metropolitan area is found to significantly increase transition rates from unemployment to employment among displaced non-metropolitan workers, but local economic conditions are found to have relatively weak or insignificant effects on transition rates. Also, lack of post-high school education and minority status both significantly reduce rates of exit from unemployment in non-metropolitan areas following employment displacement. |

Racial Wage Differences among Young Male Job Changers: The Relative Contribution of Migration, Occupation Change, Site Characteristics, and Human Capital Growth and Change 37,1 (March 2006): 34-59. Also: http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1468-2257.2006.00303.x Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: College of Business and Economics, University of Kentucky Keyword(s): Black Youth; Employment; Human Capital; Male Sample; Migration; Racial Differences; Wage Gap Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. We demonstrated racial differences in the relationship between migration, location, and predicted wages for young male workers who have changed employers. An Oaxaca decomposition allowed a measuring of the contributions of migration, occupation change, site features, and human capital to the racial wage gap. Migration decreases black-white wage differences, and wage compensation for site attributes favors white householders. Constraints on occupation choice and migration dampen the ability of blacks to improve wages. Because most job changes occur in the first ten years of a career, these results on young workers give important general insights into the origins and persistence of racial wage gaps. |
