McGranahan, David A.; Beale, Calvin L. – Rural America, 2002
A quarter of nonmetro counties lost population in the 1990s, but population loss was not related to poverty rate or low educational levels, perhaps because low-skill workers can no longer expect better wages in urban areas. Population loss was related to low population density and remoteness (which decrease access to services), lack of natural…

Investigates the relationship between geographic mobility and earnings of Hispanic-American and white men using the 1980 Public Use Sample from the U.S. Census.

Wilson, Frank Harold – Urban League Review, 1992
Presents a sociological analysis of African-American population changes, based on U.S. Census data for 1980 and 1990.

Liu, John M.; And Others – International Migration Review, 1991
Since 1965, there have been two chains of emigration from the Philippines, the largest source of Asian immigration to the United States.

Freeman, Gary P. – International Migration Review, 1992
Studies the politics of immigration in the major immigrant-receiving countries, focusing on the United States, Canada, and Australia. A strong pattern of restrictionism in the face of pressures for entry is found, coupled with exceptions, amnesties, and hesitation to enforce the law. Consequences of these inconsistencies are discussed. (SLD)

Explores the individual-level relationship of return migrant status to employment outcomes, taking into account local and regional factors such as the Puerto Rican level of employment.

Schachter, Jason P.; Jensen, Leif; Cornwell, Gretchen T. – Rural Development Perspectives, 1998
In Pennsylvania, high-poverty nonmetro counties are attracting additional poor immigrants, especially the least educated, at the same time that college graduates are showing a net outmigration from rural areas. This pattern increases the strain on rural educational and social services. Survey results suggest that the poor move primarily for…

Hill, Jane H. – 1996
Theories of human migration have been invoked to account for the difference between large-scale spread of languages and linguistic elements, as opposed to small-scale local, residual distributions. The field of dialectology understands linguistic elements as distributed across human populations, with migration as only one possible mechanism of…
