No. There are lots of other metrics. All of which had exceeded pre-Crash levels except for unemployment and exports by the mid to late 1930s. Unemployment was the big one lagging. And that was fixed by 1942 The employment rate was up, but pay was way down, you were expected to sacrifice for the war cause. GDP was up, but only because of military production, if you take military production out GDP was WAY WAY down. You couldn't buy cars, refrigerators, houses were not being built. Even if you could afford to build a house you couldn't because the wood was used to build airplanes and overseas bases. Once again you have jack on your face.
