Stanley Lieberson's assertion that the northern migration of African Americans aided the upward mobility of European immigrants can be supported by the idea that it created labor market dynamics that allowed European immigrants to fill jobs that were less desirable or lower-paying. As African Americans moved north for better opportunities, they often faced systemic discrimination, which inadvertently opened up space for European immigrants to secure employment and improve their socioeconomic status. However, this perspective can be contentious, as it may oversimplify the complex interactions of race, class, and labor in the historical context. Ultimately, while there are valid points to Lieberson's argument, it requires careful consideration of broader social dynamics.

During the early nineteenth century there was a vast migration from the country into cities. This migration led to major problems in cities such as waste-management. It also helped to create urban slums. In addition to the migration from the American countryside, there were also waves of immigrants pouring into the country throuh Ellis Island, making cities, especially New York and its surrounding areas a lot more ethnically diverse. Because most of these immigrants were also poor, their coming to cities was another contributing factor to urban slums.
