Unemployment almost non-existent- people working as soldiers, ammunition factories, etc.
Use of rationing to restrict how much people bought of a certain good
Also use of propaganda-one-sided information on the war-keep public support up

Jobs did not last after war ended-many countries gave women suffrage after war for their efforts
