The war caused Franklin Roosevelt to shift the US economy. The government took control of industries and production, asking companies to produce specific materials for the war effort like airplanes, tanks, ships, and weapons. This new production created many jobs that were filled by women as more men joined the armed forces. Women took on roles in factories and the military like the WAC, WASP, and WAVES organizations. At home, Americans supported the war through rationing of scarce resources, recycling, buying war bonds, and viewing propaganda posters featuring characters like Rosie the Riveter that promoted the war effort.
