Extract
The migration of labor is an important mechanism through which an efficient spatial allocation of resources is achieved and maintained. Many studies were designed to determine the efficacy of the market as an allocator of labor between various regions of the economy. However, most of these have concentrated on the allocation mechanism between major metropolitan labor markets or major sub-regions in the general economy. This study was designed to ascertain the effectiveness of labor allocation between rural and metro regions and between different rural regions in the three-state area of Missouri, Kansas and Illinois.
