Abstract

Every year thousands of Americans move across county lines. In general, non-migrants experience higher average incomes than their migrant counterparts. This issue of PERCspectives on Policy explores how migrants and non-migrants incomes are distributed for a sample of the largest counties and suggests that the growth in counties' per capita income is due to both the potential of immigrants and composition of the workforce.
