Abstract: This paper uses data covering birth cohorts between 1900-1950 in the US to examine correlations in schooling between fathers and sons across time and place of birth. Using CPS data with special modules that capture parental education, findings suggest gradual increases in educational mobility across the first five decades of the 20th century. There is also geographic (regional) variation that is both large and persistent, with areas of the South showing educational transmission rates that are twice as high as areas in the Northeast.
