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. |
