A family from Oklahoma resides in Highway City, California, in May 1939. They have worked as migratory laborers for six years, now employed by the Works Progress Administration. Their modest home, built on challenging terrain, represents their pursuit of stability. Monthly expenses include two dollars for electricity, one dollar for water, and five dollars for kerosene. They own a 1929 Ford. This image offers a glimpse into the lives of migrant workers during the Great Depression.
