Zusammenfassung:Variations in the rates of in-migration, out-migration, net migration, and total migratory activity between metropolises in the northeastern and north-central regions of the United States between 1935 and 1940 may be substantially explained by four independent measures derived from two theories of migration. The independent measures were (1) the percentage of unemployed in the labor force, (2) the mean rent, (3) the population size, and (4) the location of the metropolis. Net migration can be explained purely in terms of the push-pull theory, while each of the other rates is explained by a combination of the push-pull and size-distance theories.
