Mastering your next move ; Seattle Times, Sunday, July 5, 1998 by Jamie Orcutt Wausau (Wisc.) Daily Herald

"U.S. residents move more than anyone else in the world - an average of 12 times over a lifetime. In fact, about 17 percent of the population moves each year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and about half of that great shift of 43 million Americans happens during the summer months."

"A spatial interaction methodology is developed for modeling flows in a hierarchical system. A competing and intervening destinations framework is employed to model and predict U.S. state-to-state labor migration. This analysis is used to assess the importance of geographic variables in explaining variations in regional labor flows. Empirical findings suggest that U.S. labor migration is largely explained by...size, distance, locational accessibility, and intervening opportunities in a spatial hierarchy."
