Why were there migrant workers during the Great Depression?
Migrant workers suffered quite a bit in the Great Depression. They did not have fixed employment when the Depression began, so they had even less chance of finding a fixed position during the Depression. In addition, people who had been laid off due to the Depression often became migrant workers, meaning there was a problem with homeless men and families moving throughout America looking for jobs. The increase in migrant workers made it even harder for these people to find jobs, since the additional people created more competition and also created new stereotypes of migrant workers that weren't desirable, so it was less likely they would be hired.
