the great depression was due to a Stock Market crash, which then resulted in thousands of people losing there jobs and becoming unemployed. This is not the only reason why they lossed there jobs though. The migrant workers acted like replacements to the people who lossed there jobs. A migrant worker is a worker who doe's not work from there own country (or something like that).

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.
