Changed American Industry!
Instead of manufacturing consumer goods, factories produced products that would benefit war
“The average Ford car had some 15,000 parts. The B-24 Liberator long-range bomber had 1,550,000. One came off the line every 63 minutes.”

Goals for the Nation’s Factories!
President Roosevelt wanted factories to produce:● 60,000 aircrafts in 1942 and 125,000 in 1943● 120,000 tanks● 55,000 antiaircraft guns
In order to have the government involved they created the War Production Board in 1942 and the Office of War Mobilization in 1943.“We must out-produce them overwhelmingly, so that there can be no question of our ability to provide a crushing superiority of equipment in any theatre of the world war.” – Franklin D Roosevelt

Raising Money for War!
Government techniques:● American people were called to ration certain
commodities, creating more tax revenue by decreasingthe personal exemption● Selling government war bonds in individuals and
financial institutions
These methods kept inflation under control

Labor Unions!
● As war production increased= HIGH DEMAND, LOW SUPPLY
● Tensions were high between labor unions, but felt the need to protect workers’ rights
● Citizens were outraged to hear about any work stoppages, and that the labor unions could not stop the strikes despite the “no-strike pledges” each person had taken
1943: The United Mine Workers ● Workers went on strike and
newspapers condemned the miners as traitors
JUNE 25, 1943: War Labor Disputes Act● Authorized the President to
take over plants needed for war production that had stopped works b/c of disputes

Minorities in the Workforce!
“Eight million women stepped into the workforce and ethnic groups such as African Americans and Latinos found job opportunities as never before.”
