Real GDP and unemployment are inversely related, as described by Okun's Law. When Real GDP increases, it typically indicates economic growth, leading to higher demand for goods and services, which often results in businesses hiring more workers and reducing unemployment. Conversely, when Real GDP declines, economic activity slows, leading to layoffs and higher unemployment rates. Thus, fluctuations in Real GDP can significantly impact employment levels in an economy.

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.
