In the 1930s, itinerate workers were not treated well at all. They had very poor living conditions, and would often get sick since they lived with so many other people in such a small space. Most migrant workers worked on farms or ranches, getting paid 15-25 cents an hour - that's only $5 a day! Often they would work for about 12 hours a day, 6 days of the week. Even children had to do this labour. The workers weren't allowed to leave the state they were in unless they were given permission by their employers.
