These changes are caused by levels of employment, productivity, and the total Expansion, When real GDP is increasing and unemployment is decreasing.

Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased 2.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2019, according to the “second” estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.

More specifically, according to [the] currently accepted versions of Okun's law, to achieve a one percentage point decline in the unemployment rate in the course of a year, real GDP must grow

C) unemployment increases and the growth rate of real GDP decreases. Unemployment that results when there are more people seeking jobs in a labor market than there are jobs available is called: A) frictional unemployment. Cyclical unemployment is the increase or decrease in unemployment due to the natural fluctuations of output as the economy moves through the business cycle. During periods of growth, output rises, increasing the demand for labor and thereby decreasing the unemployment rate. GDP Growth and Inflation.
