title: Migration and employment change:  empirical evidence on the spatial and temporal dimensions of the linkage.
abstract: "This paper uses a unique set of [U.S.] data to estimate the magnitude of the linkages between employment changes and net employment migration.  A simple simultaneous system is specified and estimated for 17 consecutive years.  In an average year two extra jobs attract about one additional net migrant, and one additional net migrant has a direct effect on area employment of almost 1.4 jobs."  The data are from the One-Percent Social Security Continuous Work History Sample and are for the years 1958 to 1975.  The changes in this relationship over time as the economic situation varies are analyzed.
