%0 Journal Article %A Abigail Wozniak %T Are College Graduates More Responsive to Distant Labor Market Opportunities? %D 2010 %R 10.3368/jhr.45.4.944 %J Journal of Human Resources %P 944-970 %V 45 %N 4 %X Are highly educated workers better at locating in areas with high labor demand? 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. %U https://jhr.uwpress.org/content/wpjhr/45/4/944.full.pdf
