It effected California because they had to worry about the Okies. They truly hated the Okies. They even called them cuss words and dumb okies. Okie children had a hard time in public schools. They got in a lot of fights just because of who they were. That is pretty sad!
When the Dust Bowl hit, in several counties of eastern Oklahoma, 90 percent of the population went on the dole (government aid). Some of the other states in the Dust Bowl region lost half of their population, as the "Okies" and "Arkies" fled across the desert to California. They were hoping to find farm jobs in the fertile areas of Southern California. Many did not even make it that far. Most became part of the "migrant workers" of the Southwest who followed the crops that needed harvesting from south to north.
Alot of people from Oklahoma (Okies) had to leave their farms and moved west to California and so in some places there was alot of overcrowding and resentment against the Okies for taking all the jobs, since they would work for lower wages because their families were going hungry.
They were not very welcoming due to the fact of already having existing unemployment.
It did not affect California
When someone doesnt have a clean kitchen
Unwanted additions to the ranks of the unemployed . . . I think.
The displaced farmers of the Dust Bowl became the migrants described in John Steinbeck's, Grapes of Wrath. Families from Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Nevada and Arkansas, packed what they could in cars and trucks and headed west.
No the dust bowl was not shaped like a bowl.
the sugar bowl, cotton bowl,orange bowl, rose bowl.
Pro Bowl players on the two Super Bowl teams will not participate in the Pro Bowl.
Many Californians opposed arrival of the refugees from the dust bowl because they saw them as competitors for the limited number of jobs that existed.

Most Dust Bowl migrants went to California.
"The Grapes of Wrath" upset Californians because it depicted the harsh realities of the Dust Bowl migration and the struggles of migrant workers, highlighting the poor living conditions and mistreatment they faced in California. The novel's portrayal of social injustice and economic exploitation provoked strong reactions from some Californians who felt it painted an unflattering and accurate picture of the state's treatment of migrants.

destitute and homeless and hungry thats true to but they bcame migrants
Perhaps the term foreign invaders rings a bell. California provided closed entry points at times until conditions became so desperate that they were admitted to avoid violence and for humantarian reasons. They certainly received far less compassion then illegals get today.
Californian people viewed then as competition because there weren't enough jobs
Nationwide effects of the Dust Bowl: migrants left effected areas to move elsewhere, decreased grain production.
Rural states lost population, while states with large cities gained population.
