| As an explanation of regional economic growth, do people follow jobs or do jobs follow people? The current wisdom in the regional economics literature is that migration and employment change are jointly determined, but that the jobs follow people effect is the stronger of the two. Our evidence for selected counties in the Pacific Northwest from 1965 to 1970 does not support that argument. The problem may become increasingly difficult to model if the desire for non-market good, rather than income gains, continues to evolve as a major reason for migration. |

| Frequent job-changing by secondary workers in a rural labor force is found to be consistent with the human capital logic, even though negative human capital attributes are knowingly acquired in the process. The present value of future income streams from a job-changing strategy exceeds that from a staying strategy if the planning horizon for wood products work is four years or less, which is not an unrealistic length for this particular labor force. |
