Why did Willsie Lee McKinney move to midland in 1949? She coils earn as much in one day as a domestic worker, cleaning & cooking. How was McKinney's job, "spun off from oil prosperity?" In other words, how did oil create her job? ... Without oil, she could not move.

the dust bowl, otherwise known as the dirty thirties, was a huge dust storm that killed multiple (and i mean  multiple) farmer's crops, leaving them homeless, and foodless, and jobless. in california, there were 5.7 million residents, and the population shrank as mexicans were repatriated. however, when the dustbowl happened, a lot of people began to move to california. by 1940, 250,000 people had arrived. therefore, your answer would be  the population increased, massively.  i hope this !
