To measure differences in economic mobility across American metro areas over the last generation, this research uses three nationally representative, longitudinal data sets: the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979, the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, and the Panel Study of Income Dynamics. Each data set follows and collects information on a sample of individuals over time, allowing for measurement of family income during an individual’s childhood and again in adulthood. Across the data sets, which collectively include individuals residing in 96 metro areas, the same pattern emerged: Levels of economic mobility varied substantially among the places studied.
