The loss of agricultural production helped to lengthen the Depression, not only in the US but worldwide. The displaced farmers became the migrants described in John Steinbeck's, Grapes of Wrath. Families from Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Nevada and Arkansas, packed what they could in cars and trucks and headed west. Most were aiming for California where they would become a class of migrant farmers, following the crops during the harvesting season.

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.

During the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl states were suffering from dust and debris damage to their crops as well as property. Many people fled to California and other states. These migrant workers were called Okies, since most from Oklahoma.

Migrant farm workers who left the Dust Bowl during the Great Depression to seek work elsewhere were known as Okies, a term generally used to represent people from Oklahoma. During the Great Depression, the term was used to refer to people from neighboring states of Oklahoma in an offensive way. The farmers and their families traveled to California, where they were hired as migrant workers for 20 to 25-cents per hour to pick crops.
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).
