abstract: 'The California San Joaquin Valley labor market appears to be at odds
with basic economic principles in the sense that despite higher
unemployment rates and lower wages, it has continually attracted an
influx of in-migrants, domestic and international. By examining
county-level data for the last two decades, the analysis in this paper
is built around two main questions. First, in what proportion does local
employment growth reduce local unemployment, increase labor force
participation and attract outsiders who will likely take the newly
created jobs? Second, to what extent regional migration rates respond to
regional relative wages and unemployment differentials? Both questions
aim to gain a better understanding of the San Joanquin Valley labor
market and the migrants'' decisions to move there, which might shed light
in the design and implementation of development policies aimed at
reducing unemployment. Results provide evidence that market forces alone
are insufficient to correct regional unemployment disparities. Three
main findings are offered. First, in-migrants workers fill most of the
newly created jobs. Second, migration seems unresponsive to the
unemployment level but responsive to changes in farm income. Third,
migration is sensitive to government-based benefits, property crime
rates and housing prices. (JEL R11, R23, R58).'
