Colby, Sandra L.; Ortman, Jennifer M. – US Census Bureau, 2015

Malamud, Ofer; Wozniak, Abigail – Journal of Human Resources, 2012
We examine the causal effect of education on migration using variation in college attainment due to draft-avoidance behavior during the Vietnam War. We use national and state-level induction risk to identify both college attainment and veteran status for men observed in the 1980 Census. 2SLS estimates imply that additional years of college…

Foulkes, Matt; Schafft, Kai A. – Rural Sociology, 2010
Poverty is frequently conceptualized as an attribute of either people or places. Yet residential movement of poor people can redistribute poverty across places, affecting and reshaping the spatial concentration of economic disadvantage. In this article, we utilize 1995 to 2000 county-to-county migration data from the 2000 United States decennial…

Ellis, Mark; Wright, Richard – International Migration Review, 1998
Compares characteristics of recent immigrant arrivals in the United States using two measures from the U.S. Census, the "came-to-stay" question and the migrant question. Results suggest that immigration researchers should consider the idea of arrival carefully to distinguish between newcomers and the resident foreign born. (SLD)

Walford, Nigel – Journal of Rural Studies, 2007
Exchanges of population between supposedly "urban" and "rural" spaces have occurred throughout history as people migrate between areas with relatively, densely and sparsely settled populations. However, comparatively little is known about whether the same small areas persistently contribute to the flow and what types of…

Using samples of census data from the university of Minnesota Population Center's "Integrated Public Use Microdata Series" (IPUMS), we describe trends in African-American migration to the South across recent decades, and explore the applicability of the concept of "return migration" to various demographic patterns. Our findings suggest that the…

Duleep, Harriet Orcutt; Regets, Mark C. – International Migration Review, 1996
Data from the 1990 U.S. Census on the effect of admission criteria on immigrant earnings profiles found that nonoccupation-based immigration, usually family-based, was associated with lower entry earnings but higher earnings growth than occupation-based immigration. Earnings became nearly equal after 11 to 18 years. (SLD)

For example, the brief reports that children in newcomer families are driving the nation's racial and ethnic transformation. Moreover, these children constitute a very…
