RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Are College Graduates More Responsive to Distant Labor Market Opportunities? JF Journal of Human Resources JO J Hum Resour FD University of Wisconsin Press SP 944 OP 970 DO 10.3368/jhr.45.4.944 VO 45 IS 4 A1 Wozniak, Abigail YR 2010 UL http://jhr.uwpress.org/content/45/4/944.abstract AB 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.
