It is argued in this article that the labor market disequilibrium produced by the American Civil War was substantially eliminated through the process of interregional migration of population over the interval 1870–1920. This migration caused the system of regional labor markets to converge toward a “steady-state” equilibrium. It is estimated that the efficiencies introduced by this migration process explain 6 percent of per capita income levels in 1920.
