Abstract: The paper has three main goals. It reviews and elaborates a number of measures of retention of natives and attraction of migrants and examines the formal relationships among these measures in Appendixes A and B. Secondly it presents a number of state-specific lifetime migration measures as of 2006-2010 with special attention to education and the impact of immigration. We also examine the degree of change in these lifetime measures centering on 1990. Lastly, it utilizes the measures developed to present a decomposition of a states proportion of college graduates into elements that highlights the relative importance of retention and attraction and illustrates how these can contribute to appropriate policy formulation(see Appendix B).
