ABSTRACT
Considering incredible role of human labor force and especially the groups having
higher level of knowledge and skill, it can be recognized that areas can be
developed that have the most available human labor force. In fact, the government
should try to manage the rate of each area so as to reduce this gap as much as
possible. But imbalances show that imbalanced distribution of the educated people
deteriorate the condition as well as the other factors. This article, due to various
limitations, aimed at showing the process of moving skillful and educated human
labor force into major cities. The main theory suggested by this model is that the
knowledgeable entrepreneurs are attracted to those careers and activities that
require the skilled and educated labor force, influencing the trends in career
opportunities. The results show that the places where had higher levels of skill
through three last decades, have absorbed more skilled workers. Carrying on this
process, it will be more likely to separate the labors skillfully over time. In any
case, the main results show that income and wealth differences are important
among people, and income differences in different areas and places are
problematic.

Introduction
In the current decade, the role of human has been of great consideration in development due to the
important role of human agent in the process of development. The greatest competitive advantage
in countries and organizations is having influential human labor force. In the developed countries,
the rate of human resources in their wealth is more than that of physical and natural resources. In
average, the human resources involve 64% of wealth in countries around the world, 16% goes for
the physical resources and 20% belongs to natural resources. However, these rates are completely
different in some countries. For instance, 80% of Japan’s wealth is included in the human resources
but this proportion in Iran is just 34%. In any case, there is a direct relation between human
progress and development in countries (UNDP, 2013). Considering incredible role of human labor
force and especially the groups having higher level of knowledge and skill, it can be recognized
that areas can be developed that have the most available human labor force. In fact, the government
should try to manage the rate of each area so as to reduce this gap as much as possible. But
imbalances show that imbalanced distribution of the educated people deteriorate the condition as
