  13. Toorestrictive? • Labour is not homogeneous and the migration data includes workers with different skills. • Migration data also includes those not in the labour market. • Low-wage regions may be high-wage locations for particular industry sectors. • A substantial number are returning migrants moving back to their region of origin. • Some move for individual advancement, whilst others move as part of a career plan or because of company transfer policies (companies may move key workers around different plants). • Wagesare not perfectlyflexible; “stickywages”. • Positivecostsareassociatedtomigration.
