Migrant farm workers who left the Dust Bowl during the Great Depression to seek work elsewhere were known as Okies, a term generally used to represent people from Oklahoma. During the Great Depression, the term was used to refer to people from neighboring states of Oklahoma in an offensive way. The farmers and their families traveled to California, where they were hired as migrant workers for 20 to 25-cents per hour to pick crops.
