Inflation vs Unemployment: McCabe Years

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

The series of plots I have been posting, look at the relationship between inflation and unemployment. In traditional economic theory, the Phillips curve predicts that as inflation goes up unemployment goes down. However, this was true only up to the late 60s in the United States.
