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!

∙ 14y agoWhen 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.
