Abstract: Compares statistics on the economic status of immigrants to the United States who persisted at a location and those who relocated to pursue new occupations during 1850-60. Laborers who moved from their counties of residence were not less likely to improve their position than those who remained, while nonlaborers who moved were more likely to lose economic status.
