Collections: Conditions of Migrant Workers
Directions: Read the following statements and complete task below.
In addition
to earning low wages—the lowest of any workers in the country—migrant workers
also tended to live in horrible conditions. It was not uncommon for farmers to
house migrant workers in shanties, shacks, chicken coops, barns, portable
wagons, and even open fields. Those who found shelter inside small cabins or
abandoned farm houses often had to contend with broken windows, torn screens,
missing doors, and leaky roofs. Most migrants, whether living by themselves in
the fields or in specially designated migrant camps, remained isolated from the
surrounding communities. Often viewed as racial and class outcasts, migrant
workers were shunned by the local communities.
