The Depression did happen during President Roosevelts' presidency, but it had started four years before his presidency, under President Hoover. Both president Hoover and President Roosevelt initiated public works and legislation aimed at creating jobs and getting the economy back on its feet again. This started to take effect in 1934 and worked until 1938, when the economy relapsed.

Ironically it took WW II to get the US economy finally booming again, as the war economy meant an enormous stream of orders for any company that directly or indirectly could service the massive war requirements.
