The lives of migrant workers can be hard. During The Great Depression, there were job crisis and food shortages and that affected all U.S. workers making some people migrant workers so they can try to earn money to support their families. Because of the Dust Bowl, many people had to abandon their homes because of failed farmes. The Dust Bowl started as a seven year drought and lead to dust storms. Migrant workers now have to work extremely hard and they don't have great housing. Most migrant workers became migrant farming workers and they had to plant and harvest crops such as cotton and beans. When migrants migrated, they ended up going to California and from there, forty percent of the migrant farmers worked in San Joaquin Valley, California.
