It truly depends on who you ask. Many say it helped, and it probably did. What truly launched America out of the Great Depression was World War II. America began manufacturing weapons and resources needed by the Allies before we actually declared war ourselves. We sold them during the Cash and Carry policy, and soon lended them in the Leand-Lease policy with the allies. Either way, manufacturing needed resources in the war launched us out of the Depression, probably with the help of some New Deal policies.

I guess it depends on your definition of the words "some" and "hardships". If you believe that limited government is a hardship then yes, it cleared that "problem" right up.

But really, if you take a look at unemployment numbers during the Great Depression you'll find that unemployment never fell below 14% and it was certainly higher than that since unemployed women were not included in the count. The economy didn't even begin to recover until WWII started and increased manufacturing was needed to keep up with the demand of war goods.

The government cannot create jobs, it can only create the incentives for the private sector to begin hiring again.
