If job opportunities increase in an area, which type of migration may increase?

Correct answer: Immigration

Direct answer: Option A, immigration, is correct. Employment opportunities attract people who are looking for work and better income. When people move into a particular area from another place, the movement is called immigration from the viewpoint of the receiving area. Better jobs, wages, education, and services are commonly described as pull factors because they attract people. Option A is correct because new jobs can encourage people to enter the area. Option B, emigration, means moving out of an area; it may occur from places with fewer opportunities, but it is not the movement into the job-rich area asked about here. Option C, seasonal migration, is defined by temporary or periodic movement and is not necessarily caused by the stated change. Option D, forced migration, occurs when people are compelled to move by serious circumstances, not simply because jobs are available. Memory cue: immigration means in; emigration means out.
