Get It Now The Migratory-Casual Worker (Classic Reprint) Devised By John Nye Webb Available Through Digital Edition

from The MigratoryCasual Worker

The explanation of this fact is partly economic and partly per sonal, A substantial portion of the occupations followed by the migratorycasual worker continued to provide some employment throughout the depression, The experienced migrant knew where and when he was most likely to find a job in the grain and fruit harvests, logging operations, shipping, road construction and main tenance, and other seasonal activities and he continued to

migrate to those places even though he knew the pay would be less than in previous years.
This knowledge, plus a strong personal antipathy to being found in soup lines, helps to explain why the confirmed migratorycasual worker kept out of transient bureaus except for occasional overnight stops or an unusually bad run of luck in finding employment.


The fact that the confirmed migratorycasual worker did obtain assistance from the Transient Relief Program makes this report possible, Thecitieswhich served as the sources of information for the study of the transient unemployed included the country's most important centers for migratorycasual workers.
During the first half of, careful records were made of the work histories and itineraries of migratorycasual workers registered for relief in the transient bureaus of thesecities.
Some of the records taken were unsuited for study because the worker either could not, or would not, give a complete account of his employment and itinerary duringand.
Other records were excluded because the worker supplying the information was on the margin between the temporary and the habitual migrant, Still a third type of record could not be used because the worker had obviously either deliberately mis stated his history a not uncommon occurrence in the experience of the Transient Relief Program or had drawn too freely upon his imagination.
