Through the flow of time business and economics work in cycles. There are the good time or the boom times and there are the bust times or the bad times. The economy is said to be growing when it is in a boom cycle or good time. It is said to be in reccession when it is in a bust time or bad time. During that period it is common to have high unemployment whereas in the boom time unemploment is low but inflation tends to take over because more people working means more people spending and buying which generates inflation.
These boom and bust cycles are a natural part of the economy and a natural part of the business cycle or what is also known as the flow of time.
