1933, and many states -- depends what you mean. Economically? Fallout rain from the dirt?
Let's start with Oklahoma, Texas, South Dakota, Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico.

Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico WERE HURT THE WORST THERE WERE OTHERS LIKE ARKANSAS AND NEVADA THAT ADDED THEIR THOUSANDS TO THE ROLL ANSWERING TO THE NAME OF OKIE IT BEGAN IN THE SUMMER OF 1931 AND CONTINUED UNTIL 1939.AND I WOULD HAVE TO ADD CALIFORNIA SINCE A LARGE PORTION OF THESE STATES POPULATION WENT THERE LOOKING FOR WORK. SEE THE MOVIE "THE GRAPES OF WRATH" OR THE BOOK BY JOHN STEINBECK. And then the dispossessed were drawn west — from Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico; from Nevada and Arkansas, families, tribes, dusted out, tractored out. Car-loads, caravans, homeless and hungry; twenty thousand and fifty thousand and a hundred thousand and two hundred thousand. They streamed over the mountains, hungry and restless — restless as ants, scurrying to find work to do — to lift, to push, to pull, to pick, to cut — anything, any burden to bear, for food. The kids are hungry. We got no place to live. Like ants scurrying for work, for food, and most of all for land.
— John Steinbeck. The Grapes of Wrath, 1939
