How did the Dust Bowl impact jobs?



The dust bowl impacted jobs in the 1930s because half of the residents living in the Dust Bowl states moved away.(grolier) Farmers lost their land and had to close businesses to residents so they were making almost no money.(living history farm.org) Relief jobs were created in America for those who had lost their jobs. Although these jobs were created as temporary jobs and people made only 40% of their normal hourly earnings, many people spent several years employed at such positions.(citeseerx.ist.psu.edu) Often storms blew fences away and destroyed livestock causing farmers to lose a great source of income.(livinghistoryfarm.org)
