Abstract:

Migration patterns in the United States both internally and from abroad must take into account the motivations that drive them, specifically the reasons why migrants believe they move. Many studies have focus on the human capital perspective to address the reasons for internal migration in the United States and migration from abroad (Bilsborrow and Akin 1982; Conway and Houtenville 2003; Curran and Rivero-Fuentes 2003; Elliott 1997; Fussell 2004; Greenwood 1985; Gurak and Kritz 2000; Jacobsen and Levin 2000; Kritz and Gurak 2001; Liberson and Waters 1987; Newbold and Spindler 2001; Reisinger 2003; Rogers and Henning 1999; Rogers and Raymer 1999; Rogers and Raymer 1999; Walters 2002). However, research based on a national representative sample capturing the reasons why people chose to migrate are limited. Presently, the Current Population Survey asks respondents who migrated within the previous year why they did so. Although, the reason why a person migrates may be different from the true cost and benefits of migrating, there is still value in assessing the migrants account of why they migrate.
