She starts with the assumption that migration involves an attempt to maximize long-term income and includes both micro-level aspects of individual's decisions to migrate and macro-level aspects, that is to say, aggregate migration flows. The model is used to analyze black internal migration in the United States between 1910 and 1970

The paper presents the results of regression analyses which reveal well-defined differences between agreements involving unions in the bargaining process and the remainder of the population. The paper also outlines a conceptual framework for analyzing non-collective bargaining, focusing on a particular source of power asymmetry-the rather unequal levels of market power available to the employer and the individual worker in the absence of a union.

Many economists agree that there is a great deal more to work, but they nonetheless feel comfortable with this narrow description, believing that important aspects of work that they have left out of consideration have no impact on the validity of their analytical conclusions and policy propositions. This paper argues that if economics is to shed light on urgent socioeconomic issues and suggest appropriate remedies, labor economics must be expanded to encompass work as a creative endeavor-an escape from social isolation-and to acknowledge the analytical implications of the workplace as a social microcosm, which is, inter alia, governed by power relationships. This paper presents lessons from an investigation of the meaning of work in a number of cognate disciplines and outlines their implication for labor economics and for policy seeking to advance the cause of social justice.
