    Migrants' decisions to change jobs and locations are interrelated, not independent. This Canadian study analyzes the impact of industry and regional migration on earnings, correcting for selectivity bias.

    Area of Science:

    • Labor Economics
    • Sociology of Migration
    • Canadian Economic Studies

    Background:

    • The decision-making process of individuals considering migration is complex.
    • Common assumptions often separate the choices of changing industry of employment and changing region of residence.
    • Understanding these decisions is crucial for analyzing labor market dynamics and individual economic outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the role of inter-industry mobility in the decision to migrate within Canada.
    • To examine the combined effect of inter-industry and interregional migration on earnings.
    • To correct for selectivity bias in the analysis of migration and earnings.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a one percent random sample from a micro data base.

  • Data sourced from the Unemployment Insurance Commission for the 1970-1971 period.
  • Employed statistical methods to correct for selectivity bias in migration and earnings.

    • Main Results:

    • Provided evidence that industry and location changes are interrelated.
    • Challenged the conventional belief that these decisions are independent.
    • Quantified the joint impact of inter-industry and interregional migration on earnings.

    Conclusions:

    • The study concludes that migration decisions are not made in isolation; industry and regional mobility are linked.
    • Findings have implications for understanding labor mobility patterns and their economic consequences in Canada.
    • The interrelated nature of these decisions must be considered in economic and sociological analyses.
