The geographic mobility of labor presents a focus for manpower policy, depressed-area programs, and analysis of the investment in human resources. Although it provides a suitable basis for broad multi-disciplinary study in each of these foci, the field has been largely the domain of economists, concerned primarily with measurement of the gains of mobility; and, to a smaller extent, of sociologists who have placed major stress on the noneconomic costs of mobility. The papers of the symposium are in this tradition.
