A lot of otherwise unemployed people were killed. That's an aspect of our coming out of the last depression that isn't often mentioned. There were other factors of course, which have been chewed over endlessly.

Total labor force was about 60 million. From 1940 to 1947, 10 million went into the military. That doesn't count the people who filled the civilian jobs they left behind.
