Before WW II, the US was in the great depression. When they became involved in WW II, the depression ended because of the economic prosperity that comes along with war time. Factories had to produce wepons, thus making money. They needed workers, so the unemployment rate shrunk. Also, the men that went off to war had to leave their jobs, so the factories were able to replace them and the unemployment rate dropped even more.
