Why did people moving during the dust bowl?

Answer 1

There are a couple reasons I can think of for migration during the Great Depression. The first reason is for jobs as unemployment was HUGE. People would migrate across the country looking for work. Farming in particular had been suffering since the end of WWl (the need for crops slowed down following the war so then they were overproducing) and it was no longer profitable to be a farmer by the Great Depression. So, many of them just left. Their farms became worthless, so they'd move to cities searching for work. Another reason would be a result of the Dust Bowl itself. It's hard to imagine what the Dust Bowl was like, but literally tons of topsoil were uplifted by the wind and dust storms ravaged the Great Plains and even reached as far away as New York City. It was incredible---a nine-year period that destroyed farmlands, blackened skies and left millions homeless. Dust storms caused health problems (from breathing all that dirt in) and just made it hard to live in general, so that contributed to people moving out of that region of America.
