During the War, the American Industrial Complex was geared up for production of materials needed in that effort. The economy was running at full tilt to keep up with demand. Production for public consumption was scaled back, causing shortages of those materials to the point where Rationing was being enforced. Employment in factories was at close to 100%.

After the War, the economy had to switch over from Wartime Production to focus on Civilian Production. That required time and investment by private industry.

Another challenge was to employe the returning veterans. This caused some social issues to be dealt with.

Going from a max'ed out War effort to a mainly Civilian product economy, while avoiding a Recession, was also a challenge.
