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.
Though the relief and reform measures put into place by President Franklin D. Roosevelt helped lessen the worst effects of the Great Depression in the 1930s, the economy would not fully turn around until after 1939, when World War II kicked American industry into high gear.
