It is a widely held belief that WWII pulled the US out of the depression, but most economists and economically savvy historians would say that the depression actually lasted until 1948.

There was still a large depression, and I had him get two buckets I had in the garage, a total of another 5 gallons of dirt to fill the space to the level it should be.

I am currently trying to read everything I can about the Great Depression and the other financial collapses we've had in the past.

That's the second time in a week that I've heard them say Toledo is in a depression not a recession.
