There were massive infrastructure jobs programs which led to almost zero unemployment.

Lmao! They had low unemployment because trying to conquer Europe takes a lot of work. Notably, in spite of the low unemployment, the working conditions were shit and the workers could not organize due to violent suppression.

You might as well argue that slavery is progressive since it means low unemployment.
