学者们指出，婚姻经常导致次优的求职。这一文献表明，妻子接受高等教育的原因是家庭移徙（被束缚的流动者）或无法移徙（被束缚的滞留者）。另一些人发现，学历过高也可能是移徙的一个原因。这项研究审查了高等教育作为移民的原因和结果。一些证据表明，丈夫受过高等教育的家庭更有可能移徙。反过来，这种移徙又导致妻子受教育程度的提高和丈夫受教育程度的降低。还发现，家庭移徙使妻子的全时就业率比男子的全时就业率低得多。
Scholars have noted that marriage frequently results in a sub-optimal job search. This literature suggests that the overeducation of wives is a result of household migration (tied-mover) or the result of an inability to migrate (tied-stayer). Others have found that overeducation may also be a cause of migration. This study examines overeducation as both a cause and effect of migration. Some evidence shows that families with an overeducated husband are found to be more likely to migrate. In turn, this migration leads to increased levels of overeducation among wives and decreased levels of overeducation among husbands. Household migration is also found to lower the full-time employment rates of wives by more than their male counterparts.
