I'm writing a fanfiction novel about 'Of Mice and Men'. My plot problem is rather simple, I suppose, but I guess I really fail at searching through Google.

The main characters are without jobs currently but are rather dependent on getting some, given their situation. In the late 1920s-early 1930s, what jobs could two migrant workers get (without replicating the ranch job presented in the novella itself)? And how long would the job take to be completed? Specific information about food/accomodations, such as if they're provided by the employer, are appreciated as well, but probably less important than the other two questions. Thanks in advance.

If location is relevant-- The characters are at the moment leaving Auburn, California and heading to Sacramento.
