Small Gains for Rural Indians Who Move to Cities

Matthew Snipp and Gary D. Sandefur

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1988, vol. 05, issue 01

Abstract: Most American Indians living in urban areas earn more than Indians living in rural areas. But the urban advantage is less than many policymakers and researchers believe, and short-term benefits of moving from a rural to an urban area are insignificant. The higher earnings of urban Indians come more from generally higher wage rates than from enhanced job opportunities
