      ab: The geographic mobility rate of U.S. workers has declined in recent decades. Labor mobility has historically indicated variations between local areas in earnings and other economic conditions. Because average career earnings determine Social Security retirement benefit levels, changing trends in geographic mobility and earnings may have implications for workers' future benefits. I use administrative data on earnings from the Social Security Administration's Continuous Work History Sample to examine trends in geographic mobility from 1994 to 2016 and to compare the earnings of working-age adults who moved to another county or state with the earnings of those who did not. I find that the relative difference in earnings between movers and nonmovers changed little during the observation period. Although some researchers have suggested that declining labor mobility has resulted from a decline in the earnings gains workers can realize by moving, this finding suggests that such a link is unlikely.
