Concept Introduction:

Recession: Every economy faces different business cycles at a different point of time. Recession is one such business cycle. During a recession there is a huge unemployment and fall in production of goods and services. Recession slows down the business activities. The main reason for such phenomenon is the lack of demand and low investment level. When the recession is for a longer duration it is known as depression.

Unemployment Rate: It is defined as the rate of unemployed people in an economy. All those people who are willing to work at the given wages but cannot find the job are known as unemployed. It is the ratio of the unemployed to that of the labor force in an economy.
