title: Rural in-migration: are migrants universally disadvantaged?
abstract: "This study employs primary data for a small rural area [in North Carolina] to examine the ability of rural in-migrants to compete with the population at destination. The difference in the abilities of new in-migrants and return in-migrants to compete is also examined." Data are from a 1975 survey covering 2,118 households. Characteristics examined include race, age, education, household composition, occupation, and household income and earnings
