It is common for people with high incomes to gamble a lot, but not every high income earner or rich person spends so much money on gambling. A high rate of gamblers is found in countries that are struggling economically; they gamble without control because of the lack of jobs and rely on gambling for income. Gambling rate statistics are very high in countries with high unemployment rates. Poverty increases the rate of gambling because it is a common way to generate money. In countries where the employment rate is very low, the gambling rate is also very low because people already have jobs that they rely on.
