China: Inflation and Unemployment Correlation
Is there a trade-off between inflation and unemployment? The answer, if we look at the monthly statistics of China's Inflation and employment rate, appears to be yes. However, it is not necessarily a fool-proof formula. For the most part, unemployment and lack of money seems to trigger inflation. This is because when there is less money in the economy, often time the government will try to stimulate the economy by printing more money. However, the extra printing of money does not necessarily make it worth more, and if money continues to leave the economy even if more is being printed, the result is increased inflation. China's employment rate has grown as its inflation rate has skyrocketed. The employment rate, however, has not grown as fast as inflation nor has it shown itself to be as foolproof of an equation as the Phillips' curve. While there is an obvious correlation (the figures below demonstrate how inflation and employment seem to increase together), the predictors are still not necessarily standardized. This answers the question why there seems to be no fool-proof response to an economic decline. As much mathematical information as we have to try and make future predictions, economists are still not always correct. However, one trend does seem to be set in stone here: as long as inflation continues to increase, unemployment probably will also, and vice versa. Both need to be stopped in order for both numbers to decline. The numbers seem to work hand in hand, both affecting the other; therefore, both needs to be addressed to make both of these statistical inferences decrease.

The rise of productivity within competitors to the United States means that overall import/export balance will be severely altered. This can already be observed over the lopsided balance of trade for the United States, whose trade deficit will exceed 100 billion once again this year. When there is a comparison decrease in productivity, the economic impacts are both short-term and long-term. In the short-term the strength of the dollar
