Not much longer.

Explanation:

America was already coming out of the depression when WW2 occurred. Government programs had spurred economic growth and government regulations brought consumer trust back to the banking industry and to the stock market. Social Security had been started to help people during their retirement. A national system of roads were built and repaired to assist industry.
