High Mobility
America's extensive transportation network is an important element in its high level of economic
interaction. Goods and people move freely within and between regions of the country. Regional
interdependence is great; it ismade possible by these interregional flows. Relative isolation is
uncommon, but it does exist.
Nearly 20 percent of all Americans change their residence in any one year. Although much of this residential migration is local in nature, it does result in substantial interregional population movement. Until the last decade of the 19th century, there was a strong westward population shift toward frontier agricultural lands. The focus of opportunity then changed and migration shifted to urban areas. More recently, the U.S. economy has entered what some call a post-industrial phase; employment growth is primarily in professions and services rather than primary (extractive) or secondary (manufacturing) sectors. Such employment is much more flexible in its location, and there has been a more rapid growth in such employment in areas that appear to contain greater amenities.

We raise girls to cater to the fragile
egos of men. We teach girls do shrink themselves, to make themselves
smaller. We tell girls ‘You can have
ambition, but not too much’. ‘You
should aim to be successful, but not too successful,
otherwise you will threaten the man’. (…) We teach girls
shame – ‘Close your legs, cover yourself!’. We make them
feel as though by being born female, they’re already guilty
of something. And so, girls grow up to be women who
cannot see they have desire. They grow up to be women
who silence themselves. They grow up to be women who
cannot say what they truly think. And they grow up – and
this is the worst thing we do to girls – to be women who
turn pretense into an art form.
