The Migrant Experience

I'm what people call a migrant worker my name is Jim i left my farm in Oklahoma to peruse work in California. I have been in California for 2 months now and have gone Through 3 jobs so far. I came here like most of the others from the dust bowl on rout 66. We came here because we heard it had a mild climate and a wide array of crops. I'm lucky to have a job right now sense the unemployment rate is 30%. I blow all my money on whiskey and don't have a penny to my name. I'm hoping to buy my own piece of land and have people work for me. But first thing is first I have to find a way to keep this job.

-Sincerely Jim
