Introduction
In the United States, people who move from one state or region to another are known as migrants, and this phenomenon has existed historically. The primary form of migration in the country is the interstate movement of people (Baumann, Justin, and Francis 443). However, the amount of people in the employable category actively seeking paid employment contributes to the explanation of unemployment (Ryan 1). Although they vary from state to state, unemployment rates in the US are often remarkably high. Therefore, it will be possible to discover any potential advantages and disadvantages, as well as any differences, which may then be used to address the underlying economic problems by looking at both the good and bad effects that migration and unemployment have on the United States.
Effects of migration
It is significant to note that there is a positive association between the country’s migratory patterns and the advancement of civilization, and the sharing of knowledge and skills (Baumann, Justin, and Francis 446). As a result, the movement of individuals inside the country also facilitates the movement of labour as a factor of production, which benefits the US economy. Therefore, migration aids in the nation’s unemployment rate decreasing as the unemployed relocate and seize new employment opportunities. Regarding skilled labour, migration is responsible for the fall in productivity in the areas of origin. Furthermore, increased migration is associated with crime and cultural vices, which is why migration has a negative reputation (Baumann, Justin, and Francis 446). Additionally, the growing migration of people to particular regions promotes the overuse of resources in some areas. The discussion of the ramifications of migration has yet to focus on how population changes may affect employment and unemployment rates.
