During the Depression starting in 1929, extremely few houses were built. That continued throughout the war years. Also during World War 2, great strides in manufacturing and producing better farm machinery.

A number of men who would normally have started families had been at war. Many of those would have returned to the farms. They were replaced by machines. Fifteen years worth of men kicked off the farms and out of the army suddenly needed houses.

What were the causes for labour shortage in the united States during World War 1?

The labor shortage in the United States during World War I was primarily caused by the mobilization of millions of men who enlisted or were drafted into military service, reducing the available workforce. Additionally, the war effort led to increased demand for industrial production, particularly in munitions and supplies, which strained existing labor resources. The need for labor was further exacerbated by the migration of workers from rural areas to urban centers and the recruitment of women and minorities into jobs traditionally held by men.
