Unemployment in ancient Rome: during later years of the empire farming was done on large estates called latifundia. A farmer that had to pay workers couldent produce goods as cheaply. many farmers couldnt compete with these prices and lost or sold there farms At one point of the Roman empire was importing grain to feed over 100,000 these people were not only burded but also had little to do but cause trouble and increase crim rate The citizen farmer who passed his values to his family but also filled the streets with unemployed people. slaves were taking peoples job and makinng a huge increase of unemployment.

Unemployment in us: Right now the unemployment rate is 8.3%. 13.1 million people are unemployed today. so many jobs are being added that unemployment rate has dropped for 5 strait months. nerly 5 million people have stopped looking for work since the last recession in 2009. 45 million people require food stamps with 16 million added in last three years. 44.4% of the people that are unemployed have been out of work for more than six monts. They must push pro-growth policies to get back on track. One way to get the long-term unemployment back on the payroll is to have the government cover their paycheck for a period of time, according to experts. about 1.3 billion dollars of the fund which was part of the 2009 federal stimulus plan to create new subsidized employment programs or expand existing ones. All the experts agree that the best way to fix unemployment is to jump start the economy. Many states already have begun to draw down TANF emergency funds. In many states, TANF caseloads have begun to rise and states are qualifying for additional funding as a result. TANF Emergency Fund provides additional federal dollars in FY 2009 and 2010 to states that see their TANF caseloads rise, and their basic assistance costs increase. Despite the very deep recession the country is currently facing, some states do not anticipate drawing down any ARRA TANF Emergency Fund dollars in the basic assistance category because their TANF assistance caseloads have not increased over 2007 or 2008 levels. .
