Labour Mobility

Theoretically, labour is the most mobile of the factors of production both occupationally and geographically. Economic history provides strong evidence of great movements of labour from one industry to another and from one region to another. During the 19-th century millions of people left Europe to settle in North America. The last quarter of the 18-th century saw the beginning of the great migration of the British people from the country to the town, a movement which is still taking place. More recent times have seen a large-scale movement of labour from the Mediterranean lands to the industrial nations in north-west Europe. Most of these movements took place over long periods of time, and in most cases there were several political, economic, and social pressures stimulating the movements. In fact, there is plenty of evidence that labour is not very mobile geographically. Regions no more than 100 miles apart often record very different unemployment rates. In the 1930s some areas of the UK experienced unemployment rates as high as 60% while others had such rates well below 10 %. If labour had been geographically mobile such differences would surely have been greatly reduced.

Occupationally, too, labour is relatively immobile. The evidence here lies in the large contrast in salaries and wages between different professions.
