To answer this question, I use three decades of U.S. Census data to estimate a McFadden-style model of residential location choice. I test for education differentials in the likelihood that young workers reside in states experiencing positive labor demand shocks at the time these workers entered the labor market. I find effects of changes in state labor demand on college graduate location choice that are several times greater than for high school graduates. Nevertheless, medium-run wage effects of entry labor market conditions for college graduates equal or exceed those of less-educated workers.}, issn = {0022-166X}, URL = {https://jhr.uwpress.org/content/45/4/944}, eprint = {https://jhr.uwpress.org/content/45/4/944.full.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Human Resources} }
