What is the different between inflation and unemployment?

The number of people unemployed is the number of people in the country who are out of work and who are available for work at current market wage rates. This can easily be changed to a percentage by relating the number of people unemployed, to the total number of people in the labour force. Inflation is the general increase in prices over a 12 month period. This is measured by taking weighted averages of all consumer products (weighted on the frquency of purchase) and analysing the trend of overall prices. This is often called the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP). This shows how much, as a percentage, the general price levels of all consumer goods have changed over the year. The two have been analysed together using the Phillips curve which shows the rate of inflation plotted against the rate of unemployment. Some other key terms you might find useful (try these in wikipedia maybe): Phillips Curve, Keynesian economics. Hope this helps
