Inflation vs Unemployment: McCabe Years

Published on August 31, 2008 in Bureau of Labor Statistics, CPI, Inflation, Line Graph, Unemployment and United States. Closed

I have plotted the annual inflation (CPI-U) vs unemployment. The green line represents the time Thomas B. McCabe was the Fed Chairman (April 15, 1948 – April 2, 1951). The gray line represent the years 1948-2007.

In traditional economic theory, the Phillips curve describes the inverse relationship between inflation and unemployment, i.e. when inflation is high, unemployment is low. This was true in the United States in the 60s but not other time periods
