Which group would have been most likely to answer an ad for a fruit-picking job in California?

During the Dust Bowl and Great Depression, drought and economic hardship drove many farm families from the Great Plains to seek work elsewhere. California fruit growers advertised seasonal picking jobs, so Dust Bowl farmers were most likely to respond. Fruit growers already had agricultural jobs, while writers and bankers were less likely to be seeking this kind of work.
