Description
A train employee stands on the edge of the train car to ring the bell. The 80's were considered the "lost decade" because of Mexico's debt crisis. This was due to the falling oil prices that left Mexico without foreign currency to pay off its $80 billion debt. This in effect, increased high levels of unemployement, especially in rural areas. Un empleado del tren se para en el borde del vagón del tren para tocar el timbre. Los años 1980 fueron considerados como la "década perdida" debido a la crisis de la deuda de México. Esto se debió a la caída de los precios del petróleo que dejó a México sin moneda extranjera para pagar su deuda de $80 mil millones. Esto, en efecto, aumentó los altos niveles de desempleo, especialmente en las zonas rurales.
