: MIGRATION AND BUSINESS CYCLES the proportion of total immigration rises throughout the period under consideration. The movement from each country exhibits some sharp deviations from its general trend which challenge at- tention and which will be given more consideration when discussing the several countries separately.

The “Old’’ and the “New” Immigration. In comparing the fluctuations in the immigration from selected countries, we have found, on the whole, a general family resemblance in the curves for the countries of northern and western Europe, or the sources of the so-called “old” immigration, and also, a general similarity among the curves for the countries of southern and eastern Europe, or the sources of the so-called “new” immigration. Let us note the similarities and differences in the cyclical fluctuations of these two groups, as represented in Chart 36.
