Concept introduction:

Phillips curve- It shows the inverse relationship between inflation and unemployment. Economists are of the unanimity that this inverse relationship only holds true in the short run. In the long run, the Phillips curve becomes vertical.

Natural Rate of Unemployment-

It is the rate of unemployment that the economy reaches in the long run. When people switch jobs, there is a time lag and the unemployment of people during that time lag is called Natural rate of Unemployment. It is the combination of structural and frictional unemployment.

Actual Rate of Unemployment- It is the rate of unemployment of those people who want to work at the existing wage rate but are not able to find the work.
