How did World War 2 help America to come back up from the Great Depression?

The demand for all types of goods, but especially war materials, went through the roof during the war years, and before the United States became an active combatant, companies there were able to sell their goods on a "cash-n-carry" basis to all sides in the conflict. This brought in much needed work to the United States, thus enabling previously dormant factories to re-open, employing thousands of previously unemployed workers, and pumping much needed cash into the economy.
After the United States became an active combatant, factories were still kept working overtime fulfilling demand from both the US and its allies, which included the former Soviet Union, which just goes to show that politics really does make for very strange alliances.
