So, in the context of very low internal migrations in America at this time, the Dust Bowl Migration really stands out. However, apart from the fame, the migration was misnamed because most of the people migrating weren’t victims of the dust; instead they were victims of drought and depression. Despite of the critical distance, 200,000-400,000 farmers- out of the 3 million- from Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Kansas, and Missouri traveled as families to California.

A colossal 17 million people left the countryside to go to work in the towns this was part of industrialisation which helped to improve the economy.
