Where did many farmers immigrate after the devastation of the dust bowl?

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.


Why did they call some people Okies?

The term "Okies" was used to refer to migrants from Oklahoma who moved to California during the Dust Bowl in the 1930s in search of work. The term became a derogatory label that implied poverty, hardship, and a lack of education.


Where were the okies and refugees from?

The Okies were migrants from Oklahoma who moved to California during the Great Depression in the 1930s seeking better economic conditions. Refugees typically come from countries experiencing conflict, persecution, or other crises and seek asylum or resettlement in safer regions.

During the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, many migrants from Oklahoma, known as "Okies," primarily moved to California. They sought better agricultural opportunities and living conditions as severe drought and economic hardship devastated their home state. Other states, such as Arizona and Texas, also received some migrants, but California was the main destination for many Okies.


Where did many of the Okies who saw their farms turn to dust move?

Many of the farmers displaced by the Dust Bowl disaster (1934-1940) relocated to California, where they were known as Okies because many were from Oklahoma. They were seeking jobs as farm laborers, but the Great Depression left many migrants without work, or living in unsanitary shanty towns.
