Clinton benefited from the millions of jobs created by the internet explosion which Reagan set the table for by opening up ARPANET for commercial purposes... contrary to Gore's claim of having invented it.
Exactly!
If anything job expansion comes after a Republican President leaves office. After a Democrat leaves the Republican is left with the mess and has to clean it up, only to do the whole thing over again.
Clinton repealed Glass-Steagall, GWB was blamed for the fallout. Obama still blames GWB for his own failures, and now they want to shove another Clinton down our throats. Screw that!
Bill Clinton had the GOP congress and Newt and the Contract of America.
When the IT Industry Crashed GWB of course got Blame.
Over 4 million Americans are employed in the growing green-collar workforce," which is double the number "of people working in the fossil fuel industry.
This is a joke, and a FARCE. Bill Clinton was in office when the internet went public, that was a mere coincidence and had nothing to do with Clinton. He was just lucky
Thank you, a lot of people give Bill Clinton more credit than he deserves for the economic boom of the mid 1990s.
Clinton Created More Jobs than Reagan + Bush1 + Bush2 COMBINED! Plus you could almost add in all of Ford's jobs also. Democrat Presidents have always been the best Job CreatorsPresident Bill Clinton was the Best in History!!! http://s9.postimg.org/y9cj3bowv/Jobs_President.jpg
Study economics and history, Bill Clinton had nothing to do with the economic boom of the 1990s, do the words "Dot-Com Boom" remind you of anything?
With your statement about Democrat presidents being the "best" job creators, again look at recent history. The country was in a recession when Carter left office, and yes there was a recession when, George H. W. Bush left office. Bill Clinton only happened to be in office during the Dot-Com boom, which eventually went bust in the late 1990s.
If you think Obama was a job creator, you need to wake up.
People forget that Bush 1 raised taxes and cut defense spending. Clinton comes in and cuts defense spending and raises more taxes. Throw in the dawn of the internet and somehow is regarded as an economic superhero. They also forget about the .com recession in 00.
Compensation for private industry workers increased 2.3 percent over the year, higher than the September 2015 increase of 1.9 percent. Wages and salaries increased 2.4 percent for the current 12- month period. In September 2015, the increase was 2.1 percent. Benefits rose 1.8 percent for the 12-month period ending in September 2016, and rose 1.4 percent in September 2015.
Bill Clinton came into office when the internet was blowing up in this country. Tons of jobs were created because of it. The internet is to blame for the job creation not Bill Clinton....
