Virginia Loses A Large Sum Through Migration
Dr. W E Garnett of Virginia Polytechnic Institute notes 1930 census figures show Virginia lost at least 250 million dollars through emigration. About 835000 Virginians lived in other states while 331000 non Virginians lived in Virginia. Cost per migrant ranges from 500 for the average to 3000 4000 for college trained. Migration is selective with two thirds from better classes leaving. Few marginal families rise to higher status, while birth rates decline and cities rely on rural areas for growth. The issue will be discussed at a rural affairs session at VPI with other speakers and a Farm and Home radio series planned by WRVA and state agencies.
