Economic Transplant: are individuals who move out of their hometowns and transplant themselves into the larger economies of bigger cities. This explains why some demographics of the U.S. population are able to become successful in obtaining better jobs in bigger cities or any city or town other than their hometown. These economic transplants usually do better than the local population in obtaining higher salaries.
Johnny moved from his hometown (Rochester, NY) to Charlotte, North Carolina recently and found high-paying job in the local economy. Yeah, Johnny is a economic transplant who moved out of the urban decay of northern inner-cities and expensive coastal cities to find greater economic opportunities than the local Johnnies of Charlotte, North Carolina.
