This paper examines the extent to which information obtained from past geographic mobility affects both post-move job-search and earnings in subsequent migration. The study considers this linkage between past and present mobility by estimating "earnings frontiers" for various categories of interstate migrants partitioned by prior mobility history. Our results demonstrate that migrant groups exhibiting high relative levels of human capital stock do not necessarily possess superior pre-move labor market information. It is also demonstrated that the incentive to acquire this pre-move information is tied to psychic cost, and variation in the cost among migrant types.
