The life was terrible. It all started in the early 30's. It all started when the national banks of America were bankrupt because no one was investing in them. The country ran out of money. The former president Franklin D Roosevelt and his wife did everything they can to help protect the country. They tried to make alliance with the neighbouring countries but failed. After some time, America was hit with a drought which people also call , the Dust Bowl. More and more people were left homeless and began to find work in factories. It was a total chaos. There were more people to feed and less food. In the states of Ohio, Kansas and Maschauttes more than 3 million people died of thirst and starvation.

In the 1930s, itinerate workers were not treated well at all. They had very poor living conditions, and would often get sick since they lived with so many other people in such a small space. Most migrant workers worked on farms or ranches, getting paid 15-25 cents an hour - that's only $5 a day! Often they would work for about 12 hours a day, 6 days of the week. Even children had to do this labour. The workers weren't allowed to leave the state they were in unless they were given permission by their employers.
