During the 40s, the nation shifted to a wartime economy, and the Department focused on finding people to manufacture airplanes, ships, and other goods to aid the war effort. In 1942, the State's employment services were federalized by executive order and transferred to the US War Manpower Commission. In 1946, the Commission was dissolved and employment services returned to the State.
