Interregional Migration

Today in human geography with Mr. Schick we learned about interregional migration. We learned that people do this due to perceived economic betterment and it typically compels individuals to make interregional migrations. From this we talked about an example of this, in the Westward expansion. In this historical event enticement of abundant available land on the American Frontier lead to people moving. They wanted to find land they could claim in order to farm and make money. However, since presently most jobs, especially services, are in urban areas that's were most people had to move to find jobs in present times. Even in westward expansion it contributed to a shift in the center of population. It was before the westward expansion close to the cost but when everyone started to move it moved the center of population closer to the mid America area. That's what we had learned in Human geography today taught by Mr. Schick.
