    Life goes on for the Migrant farmers, and this recration of a radio show shows just that. Even in the time of depression and hardship, the people could still turn to the comfort of music and the radio.

    Talks about why the Okies moved to California. It was a promised land with much fruit for picking and farms to be labored on. It provided the perfect green oasis for people who had been stuck so long on a brown, dusty farm.

    The poor living conditions in TGOW are not a thing of the past. This article, from 2009, talks about how people are once again being booted from their homes by "the Bank Monster"

    This article shows the extent to which unethical practices are used by the fast food companies. Apparently, Burger King employees had been spying on two labor unions and writing things against them on Youtube. They also had private investigators pose as high school students and try to find out info on the unions.

    Profiles of different Migrant worker organizations. If these had existed in the time of The Jungle and GOW, maybe things would have been easier for the two families! In the modern day, these groups all work to make sure the basic needs of workers are met, and that they are not being exploited or used.

    The businesses behind farms that provide for fast food companies are under scrutiny for not treating their (mostly immigrant) workers with respect and fairness. They are also buying out smaller farms, and removing a whole class of people from the system.

    To go along with The Jungle, the Triangle Shirtwaist Co. fire in New York City was yet another wakeup call for poor factory conditions. The fire occurred in an overcrowded factory filled with mostly young women and girls. It was a real life companion to the poor conditions described in The Jungle.

    Much like in TGOW, today workers are still being forced to uproot and move to other places where work can be found. This article talks about an "underground railroad" of sorts, which helps workers who have suffered accidents/arrests/other unfortunate events and help them obtain the American dream they left their homelands for.

    The ethical issues addressed in The Jungle and how they relate to the bills passed after the publication. It talks about how Roosevelt responded to the book and passed many new restrictions on the Chicago meatpacking district, as well as businesses all over the country.

    This article shows the aftermath of The Jungle, much like the other PBS timeline article. It also connects things mentioned in The Jungle with a real life race of migrant workers in a Nebraska church. Although many new laws and regulations came out of the novel, most are not upheld to this day.
