What were the push and pull factors for the Okies to California?

The Okies, primarily from Oklahoma and other Dust Bowl states, were pushed to leave their homes due to severe drought, agricultural collapse, and economic hardship during the Great Depression. They sought better opportunities and living conditions in California, which served as a pull factor due to its promise of jobs in agriculture and a milder climate. The allure of the American Dream and the hope for a fresh start also motivated many to undertake the difficult journey westward.
