Answer:

America's involvement in World War II had a significant impact on the economy and workforce of the United States. The United States was still recovering from the impact of the Great Depression and the unemployment rate was hovering around 25%. Our involvement in the war soon changed that rate. American factories were retooled to produce goods to support the war effort and almost overnight the unemployment rate dropped to around 10%. As more men were sent away to fight, women were hired to take over their positions on the assembly lines. Before World War II, women had generally been discouraged from working outside the home. Now, they were being encouraged to take over jobs that had been traditionally considered 'men's work.'

Most disturbing and horrific would probably be the way that workers could be mutilated by the machines or by human error and nobody would care about that. They would have to keep working without fingers or hands because not working would mean the end of their families. The injuries sometimes didn't have to be mutilation but were still severe.
