GDP is the amount of goods and services produced in a year within a country. When people are unemployed, it means there don't have any income so they can't purchase any good and services. Since income reduces, the demand curve shifts to the left and producers react to this reduction of demand by decreasing production (how many goods and services they are producing), therefore unemployment has a negative affect on GDP and reduces it.

It is unclear the affect the bailout will have on GDP and unemployment. GDP growth has the biggest impact on employment so how the economy responds to the bailout is the critical factor, If credit markets loosen up and credit begins to flow again it will have a very positive impact on GDP growth. In that instance the impact of the bailout will be a reduction in unemployment.


How does real GDP affect unemployment rate?

Real GDP is a measure of the economic output of a country. The absolute measure only tells you what that output was for a particular period. The more important measure for employment is the difference between real GDP and a theoretical real GDP which economists use to calculate the maximum output of an economy. When the gap between real GDP and maximum output GDP is large, the unemployment rate will be large and vice versa.
