**Unemployment**
Many people in Rome were out of work because it was easier to use slaves then to hire roman people,but the dependency on slave labor was causing rome unemployment problem. Not only were people unemployed, but they caused trouble and cotribute to an ever increasing crime rate. since people in Rome had nothing to do, there was rioting in the streets. They wanted to be amused, therefor the gladiator games had to be provided. Alot of farmers would not be able to compeat with these low prices and lost or sold there farms.since slaves took over jobs in ancient rome, people who were not slaves had no jobs.the goverment was therefor forced to subsise the working class romans to make up the differences in prices.This resolted into thousands of romans living on subsides, sacrificing thire standerd of living with a idel life of ease.
