The US was getting out of the depression by 1940 but there was no unemployment during the War and the economy boomed from 1942 until the middle Seventies. Many people were able to save for the first time after the long depression and joblessness. They saved it to get married, buy homes, cars and go to college after the war. And they did.

∙ 14y agoWorld War 2 helped bring American industry out of the Depression by providing full employment to support the war effort.
During The Great Depression unemployment was at its highest in history. World War II sent countless men over to combat in Europe. The government paid these men for their time and sacrifice to their country. In addition, the war created an entire new industry that needed workers. Companies received government contracts to produce war-time necessities: guns, tanks, planes, etc.
These industries employed many people in the United States, including women. This is what brought about the Rose the Riveter campaign and posters that can still be seen today. Unemployment dropped immensely because all of these companies were not hiring.
As unemployment dropped, the United States pulled out of the recession. The war proved to be the medicine that the United States needed to pull out of the Depression.
