The biggest area of job creation in the US as a result of the end of the war was the construction industry. The end of the war resulted in hundreds of thousands of military personnel being demobilized and returned to society. These individuals had come to their age of majority in the military and were not willing to move back into their family homes. This resulted in a huge shortage of housing. The Cold War or nuclear arms race created a series of jobs involving defense contracts and additional construction projects. The majority of these were government related in hardening government facilities and creating missle related facilities.
