Unemployment Rate and GDP Analysis

The documents show the relationship between unemployment rates and GDP growth rates for various years and quarters: 1) The first table shows annual unemployment rates, GDP growth rates, and their ratio from 2000-2018, with GDP growth generally decreasing as unemployment increases. 2) The second table shows quarterly unemployment rates, GDP growth rates, and their ratio from 2014-2018, again with GDP growth decreasing as unemployment rises. 3) Line graphs depict the inverse relationship between unemployment and GDP for the annual and quarterly data. As unemployment goes up, GDP growth declines.
