Abstract

PpT HE four or five decades prior to World War I witnessed the largest international migration of labor in world history. This paper examines the economic factors which partially explain the movements in this flow of labor from Europe to the United States in the period 1870-1914.1 Aggregate labor demand and supply functions are discussed and combined into a migration model. The paper thus offers both an examination of an important period in economic history and a further test of available aggregate demand and supply models for labor.2
