When FDR took office, unemployment was, as you note, at something like 28%. In the late 1930s, before American entry into World War II, unemployment had been reduced to something like 10%.I'd suspect a fair amout of the reduction could very easily have come from the creative minds of the beltway bureaucrats.

The conscription of 12 million men into the military is the only reason for the drop in unemployment.
