 Unemployment

                                     Unemployment in the Roman Empire was a factor to the fall of Rome, which meant that not everyone had a job that paid. "Many farmers could not compete with these new low prices and lost or sold their old farms."(3) If the farmer couldn't pay for anything, he had to sell his farm. Meaning, that more and more people left their job on a daily basis. "At one time the emperor was importing grain to feed more than 100,000 people in Rome alone."(3) Now this was bad! If the emperor had to feed 100,000 people in Rome alone, imagine how much money that cost! Therefore, no job equals no food, no food equals emperor pays, emperor is paying equals no money, and no money equals no empire.
