The recession continued into the Clinton administration, but the Clinton
administration manipulated things so that the spin put on it made it seem
like the economy was doing better than it really was...
Case in point...I was laid off during the administration of Bush Sr. I duly
reported to my local unemployment office, registered to collect unemployment
but also got along doing temporary and/or part-time work...
Even though some weeks I made more than would get me an unemployment check,
I was still kept on the list for the full term I was unemployed, which was
just over 3 months.
In early 1993 I was laid off again...this was just at the beginning of the
first Clinton administration, and again I was kept on the unemployment list
for the full 36 weeks allowed, even though many weeks I got no unemployment
compensation because of either still getting 'golden parachute' payouts from
my ex-employer, or working part-time or temp jobs...
But when I again found myself 'between jobs' a few years later, if I had 4
weeks (which did not have to be consecutive) where I was not paid an
unemployment check due to making 'too much' from a part-time or temp job, I
was immediately dropped from the unemployment list. In other words, if I
had a temp job for one week that paid me too much to collect unemployment,
and then I didn't have another temp/contract position for another week which
then only lasted 2 weeks, and then I had to wait a couple of days before the
agencies found me another temp/contract position, I ended up being dropped
from the unemployment rolls because even though I had periods of
unemployment between the temp positions, they added up to 4 weeks of what
was deemed 'employment'. The way they were now keeping records, as long as
there were 4 weeks in total where you didn't get paid unemployment, they
decided you were 'employed'. The 4 weeks could have occured over a span of
several months, it didn't matter. To continue collecting, I would have had
to report again, and file a whole new set of paperwork. I didn't bother.
Yet I knew that I was not alone in this category...many well-trained workers
(especially in the data processing and tech fields) who got laid off and
got by' doing part-time and temp/contract work at a fraction of the salary
we used to get...but the Clinton administration could point to the monthly
unemployment statistics and claim that 'unemployment is down'...when in
reality they were dropping people from the lists who previously would have
remained on the lists for months, albeit without getting unemployment checks
because we were working these part-time and/or temp jobs...
