Office of War Mobilization
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Office of War Mobilization (OWM) was an independent agency of the United States government headed by Former Supreme Court Justice James F.

Unemployment, the scourge of ten years earlier, had all but vanished, as Americans went to work to fuel the war machine.
