The present study is an attempt to assess the amount of post-war migration away from crowded industrial defense areas. Using the polling technique, it approaches the problem of migration by inquiring about people's expectations in the event that they lose their jobs after the war. Interviewing was conducted on a representative cross-section of the war labor force in eight major defense areas over the country. It was found that 36 per cent of the workers in these areas expect to move away if they should lose their jobs after the armistice. Central among the factors contributing to readiness for migration is the feeling that one's job will not continue after the war. In industries or in cities where this feeling is widespread-the shipbuilding city of Portland, Maine, for example-workers in large numbers are expecting to move out when the war ends
