Unemployment is an indication of the health of the economy. Unemployment means that there is a portion of the productive population (labor force) that is not producing and unable to earn income for consumption and/or for investment. The more unemployed workers there are, the less output the economy will be able to produce. High unemployment also means that there are less wages available in the hands of people to consume, which reduces the incentive or need for suppliers to produce at full capacity (lower GDP). Moreover, unemployment means that there are more workers available for work in the labor market (high supply) than jobs (demand). Higher unemployment leads to a reduction in the price of labor (wages).
