Because many people were buying lots of stuff on there credit cards. But when it came to paying it off they couldn't so the companies were starting to raise rates. It just so happened that the employment rate dropped 10.2 %. This caused a chain reaction to other events. I chose this event because it effected everyone in the world. Because is tied together and it will affect everyone someway or an other.
