Migration and the Earnings of Hispanic Men.

Tienda, Marta; Wilson, Franklin D.

American Sociological Review, v57 n5 p661-78 Oct 1992

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. Economic returns to migration are negligible for both Hispanic-American men and white men. Among Hispanic Americans, the earnings determination process is roughly similar for movers and stayers.
