According to my father who lived through the  Great depression WWII was what brought the U.S. out of the great depression. Everyone had a job during the war. And when the war was over the factories that had been manufacturing war equipment converted over to making things like refrigerators and washers and dryers.
The Depression caused major political changes in America. Three years into the depression, Herbert Hoover lost the 1932 presidential election to Franklin Delano Roosevelt in a landslide. Roosevelt's economic recovery plan, the New Deal, instituted unprecedented programs for relief, recovery and reform, and brought about a major realignment of American politics. The Depression also resulted in an increase of emigration of people to other countries for the first time in American history.
