Unemployment in ancient Rome was high due to several factors, including the influx of slaves from conquests, which reduced the demand for free laborers. Additionally, economic instability, inflation, and reliance on a few wealthy elites for jobs led to limited opportunities for the lower classes. The transition from a primarily agrarian economy to one focused on urbanization also contributed to job scarcity in cities, as many rural workers migrated to urban areas in search of better prospects, only to find insufficient employment.
