John Steinbeck: The Harvest Gypsies

The Harvest Gypsies is a book by American author John Steinbeck, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1962. The book is about how people were affected by the Dust Bowl (during the Great Depression) and they were forced to move to California to look for any type of job.

Steinbeck mentions in the book that people who came within the United States used to travel with their families and they would take any job they were offered to give their families something to eat. On the other hand, foreign workers travelled alone and they were single men.

The author shows that foreign agricultural workers submitted to this type of work out of necessity, while American workers work in the fields by choice.

We can arrive at this answer because:

In "The Harvest Gypsies" the author shows how the Great Depression affected the work of Americans.

To minimize the economic impacts they were suffering, Americans chose to work in the fields and moved to the countryside with their families.
However, Americans were privileged to look for another type of work if they wanted and many of them did not work in every season.
Foreign workers, on the other hand, were different.
They were submitted to this type of work out of necessity, as they were experiencing many difficulties in their countries.
They needed to send money to their family and so they worked every harvest.
Furthermore, they arrived in the US on their own, without family.

With this, we can see that the situation of the American workers was favorable in certain respects, even if their economic condition was not the best.
