Think about what was going on in 1917 - World War I. That put tremendous strain on the U.S. economy because it was the first major international war in over a century, and there were very few institutions in place to deal with it. The demand for goods and services pushed prices up significantly.

When economists look at inflation and unemployment in the short term, they see a rough inverse correlation between the two.

This relationship between inflation and unemployment is the Phillips curve. The short term Phillips curve is a declining one. Fig 2.4.1-Short term Phillips curveThis is a rough estimation of a short-term Phillips curve. As you can see, inflation is inversely related to unemployment.
