Unemployment is a crisis that is currently tearing through our nation. When considering problems that are running rampant through our nation, no challenge seems as prevalent as our economy. However, jobs -or the lack thereof- are driving US citizens to a point of no return. In fact, as of May 2015, the US unemployment rate was 5.5%. This is less than prior years, but is still far to high to be acceptable. However, several efforts have been made to reduce the number of unemployed Americans, many to great effect. Americans who are unemployed receive several great benefits through the government in an effort to help get them back on their feet and into a career. Some great programs include employment subsides, which provide the recently unemployed a small income to get by and reenter the job force. As well as education and training for those undergoing long-term unemployment. These social services encourage others to persevere through their struggles and be resilient. However, even with these programs, unemployment continues to be a critical problem in the US. In the United States, we are provided the right to pursue our own happiness. A large part of this is developing a strong and lasting career path. With unemployment effecting a large portion of Americans, we find ourselves at a crossroads. However, we must join together in order to fight against unemployment. Government assistance will be key in leading this final charge against this struggle; but we must take an active part in making the change that our nation needs.
The reason why the spanish leaders wanted to push spanish control into North America during this time period was mostly because they wanted to gain more cotrol - which could be obviously achieved through more physical gain of the land of North America.
