Ancient Facts:
> > > Current Facts: > > > > Questions:
 * Some of the jobs the slaves had were shops, public buildings, and barbers.
 * the wealthy slave owners had their slaves do every job they could so that made the lower class and the farmers be kicked out of their jobs and had no job because the slave was having to do all of the work and jobs.
 * The jobs that most slaves took were the farmer’s jobs. Farms used to just be a small family business but then it was gobbled up and replaced by enormous slave run plantations owned by the aristocratic elite.
 * The slaves mostly worked on farms, sewers, and servants in wealthy people’s houses.
 * Slaves were like animals they belonged to their owners and did whatever they told them to do. Just like animals they could be bought or sold.
 * Cheap slave labor in turn resulted in the unemployment of the people of Rome who became dependent on hand-outs from the state.
 * This resulted in thousands of Romans choosing just to live on the subsides sacrificing their standard of living with an idle life of ease. The massive divide between the rich and the poor increased still further.
 * The slave population of Rome approached 500,000 on its own, probably half of which were owned by the 600 men of the Senate. Additional estimates have suggested that of the total 65 million people, 2 to 10 million may have been slaves.
 * The topic slaves taking Ancient Roman jobs are basically the same thing as outsourcing.
 * For the past decade, the Philippines have been an attractive call-center destination due to its educated, English-speaking population. But its appeal is at an all-time high as the Philippines inches past India as the largest call-center operator in the world.
 * The Philippines now leads India in call-center jobs, employing 350,000 compared with India's 330,000, according to the Contact Center Association of the Philippines, which represents the country's call-center operators.
 * Over the last few decades, there has been an enormous increase in the number of people who fall into the no man's land of the labor market that Carroll Wright created 130 years ago. These people are not employed, but they also don't fit the government's definition of the unemployed -- those who "do not have a job, have actively looked for work in the prior four weeks, and are currently available for work."
 * There are only two possible explanations for this bizarre combination of a falling employment rate and a falling unemployment rate. The first is that there has been a big increase in the number of people not working purely by their own choice. You can think of them as the self-unemployed. They include retirees, as well as stay-at-home parents, people caring for aging parents and others doing unpaid work.
 * The second possible explanation -- a jump in the number of people who aren't working, who aren't actively looking but who would, in fact, like to find a good job -- is less comforting. It also appears to be the more accurate explanation.
 * Thirty-nine percent of Americans in September name unemployment or jobs as the most important problem facing the country, up from 29% in August. Unemployment has now passed "the economy" as the most frequently mentioned issue.
 * The results are based on a Sept. 8-11 Gallup poll, conducted just after President Obama announced his proposed jobs bill to Congress to address the United States' high unemployment rate. Obama's proposal came shortly after the government reported that no net new jobs were created in the U.S. in August. The increased government attention to unemployment is likely the reason behind the bump in the percentage of Americans citing it as the most important problem.
 * What is the major cause of unemployment?
 * Why haven't the government changed the law or definition of the word unemployment when they know how many people do not have a job in the united states?
 * How is the government working to get the people who are unemployed?
 * what caused the unemployment rate to go up 5 percent. from 4.9 percent in January?
 * How do people who are unemployed find a job?
