3 MIGRATION AND BUSINESS CYCLES failure of emigration to increase markedly in this depression period are probably the unsettled political and economic conditions in Europe and the anticipation of the effect of restrictive immigration laws in making it more difficult for those who left to return later.

CHAPTER SUMMARY Briefly summarized, the evidence submitted in this chapter in- dicates that with reference to the degree to which they are affected by cyclical movements in industry, male migration is more sus- ceptible than female; the immigrant and emigrant are somewhat more susceptible than the nonimmigrant and nonemigrant groups; and the unskilled immigrant and emigrant respond to industrial conditions more readily than the skilled, professional, and “no oc- cupation’ groups. Further indications of the relative responsiveness to industrial conditions of these several elements in migration will appear in the chapter on Seasonal Movements, and the discussion of the relative cyclical fluctuations of immigrants of various races and from various countries appears in the following chapter. 52
