#1:This is a march of the Unemployed Union in New Jersey. This was a typical scene of the 1930’s during the Depression, and this photograph represents the large amount of people in desperate need of work and looking for jobs.

#2 Bread Line, 1933 The Great Depression forced many Americans to go hungry or depend on charities for food, clothing, and other necessities. Here, people wait in a breadline to receive free food.

The Dust Bowl also occurred during this already difficult time The Dust Bowl also occurred during this already difficult time. In the Midwestern states, there was a drought which prevented many farmers from being able to make a living from their land. #3 Without money to pay their rent or mortgages, many families were forced to sell their land or give it back to the bank.

#4: These are squatters along highway near Bakersfield, California #4: These are squatters along highway near Bakersfield, California. They are refugees from the Dust Bowl, with very little to their names. They have no water or shelter, and they are looking for work in the cotton fields.

#5:This group was evicted from their homes, and now they are camping along a highway in rural Missouri in the 1930s. The Great Depression left many Americans— urban and rural, black and white— without homes, jobs, and hope.

#6: Perhaps 2.5 million people abandoned their homes in the South and the Great Plains during the Great Depression and went on the road seeking jobs and better lives. Many had never before left the county where they were born, but with the drought they came West. They became migratory agricultural workers, which means that they moved around according to what work was available.

# 7: This photo was taken in June 1935 in San Fernando, California # 7: This photo was taken in June 1935 in San Fernando, California. The family is from Oklahoma, where they were forced to leave their homes and land. This is all that they own.

#8 Destitute pea pickers in California. Mother of seven children. -- Dorothea Lange

#9 Riverbank, Stanislaus County, San Joaquin, California #9 Riverbank, Stanislaus County, San Joaquin, California. The family living here came to California January 8, 1940, from Oklahoma.
