Lack of jobs is not what caused this sub prime debacle. Free money from the fed (1% for years)and lack of regulations (established) of investment banks allowing massive speculation, debt accumulation (easy equity loans) and CDO's and siv's is what caused this housing crises.

This would not have happened using the old rules and regulations i.e. credit requirements, etc.
