Abstract
In most research, the outcome of migration in reaction to unemployment is assessed in terms of wages. This research measures the outcomes in happiness using sequence analysis and fixed effects regression. The former shows that there is a selection of unhealthy and unmarried persons into unemployed and unhappy groups. It is found that migrants feel the negative long-term effects of unemployment sooner, but that there are no further differences. Conclusively, there is little difference between the selection into migration and migrating does not seem to negate the long-term effects of unemployment on happiness.
