My research analyzes patterns of geographic and socioeconomic mobility in the nineteenth-century British labor market, using data on individuals linked between various population censuses from 1851 to 1901. Specific issues include inter- and intragenerational social mobility, rural-urban migration, the return to primary schooling, and comparative patterns of mobility between the British and U.S. labor markets from 1850 to the present.
