One way is to raise unemployment benefits and reduce taxes for the lower paid worker so that the poorest groups of people have more cash and are able to consume (purchase) more. This would increase demand which obviously requires a following increase in manufacture for supply which increases demand for workers. The Prime minister of Australia did this when the latest bad financial troubles started in the world. Australia never even went into negative growth and survived virtually undamaged by doing this, while all the other (supposedly smart) economies went downhill badly.

Also, high levels of unemployment result in a decrease in general consumption (people have less money to spend as they are searching for jobs) and this will contribute to slow business growth.
