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.

In 1929 the U.S. economy entered the Great Depression, which was exacerbated by the stock market crash of that era. Unemployment surpassed 25 percent, the government raised taxes, and the economy would not begin to recover for 10 more years. The market crash of 2008 was part of the Great Recession.
