Strengthening unmarried families: Could enhancing couple relationships also improve parenting?
Article Abstract:
The association between relationship quality and parenting is examined by using data from a longitudinal survey of both married and unmarried couples that gave birth in large U.S. cities between 1998 and 2000. A positive association is observed between parents' relationship quality at the time of a baby's birth and parenting about 1 year later for both mothers and fathers and the association between relationship quality and parenting is not affected by marital status.

A note on the benefits to current residents of state employment growth: is there an industry mix effect on migration?
Article Abstract:
The relationship between migration and the elements of employment growth is analyzed by employing 1981-1991 annual migration data for the 48 contiguous US states. The results show that state employment growth that results from having a mix of nationally fast-growing industries leads to lower net migration response. Thus, regional economic development policies designed to increase the regional mix of industries will have greater benefits for current residents.
