Marginal jobs available be-
fore a recession, do not always
reopen after a recession, she
adds.
Both Weiner and JVS's Al-
bert Ascher note that the vol-
ume of business they do does
not necessarily correlate with
the state of the economy.
Ascher says he saw mainly pro-
fessionals — particularly
teachers and social workers —
come through his doors in the
early '80s. "We didn't see the
entrepreneurs come to us."
The building industry also
suffered. Recalls corporate at-
torney Howard Gurwin: "Buil-
ders got in trouble and the next
thing you'd see they couldn't
pay their bills and were sued
by their suppliers. We handled
a greater than normal amount
of Jewish bankrupcies during
that period," he notes.
Layoffs affect other profes-
sions in which Jews are promi-
nent. "People don't come be-
cause they get scared," ex-
plains Dr. Seymour Swartz, a
Farmington Hills dentist.
"Dentistry is one of the first
things people think they can do
without."
Weiner says that Jewish
Family Service is in "a state of
readiness" in the eventuality
of a drastic increase in need.
Federation President Giles is
equally confident that De-
troit's Jews can raise enough
money through the Allied
Jewish Campaign to help those
hard hit to weather any storm.
"Those people who are not
materially affected will be
called upon to do more and will
give more," he promises, if a
downturn comes about.
Indeed, contributions. ini-
tially dropped during the re-
cession, to $18.5 million in
1982, down from 1981's $18.7
million. By 1984, however, the
earlier peak had been surpas-
sed with the Campaign taking
in $20.6 million.
1987 is not 1981 in several
different ways. "There's a
growing diversity in South
Oakland County" that could
blunt the effects of a recession,
Ascher points out.
Says Southfield attorney
Steven Haffner: "Most of my
clients are in the high-tech
business. It's pretty well insu-
lated from the fluctuations in
the auto market."
It's a scary thing about De-
troit," said another. "If the
interest rate goes up a few per-
cent, there's an enormous
slowdown in business." For the
moment, though, interest rates
are heading downward.
Then, too, is the way the
country has changed. Several
years back, many unemployed
Michiganians voted with their
feet and moved to the Sun Belt,
then in the midst of boom
times. With the domestic oil
industry in a shambles, says
Michelle Krebs of Automotive
News, "they really can't flee to
Houston this time."
