Explanation of Solution

Typically, the recession can be defined as the declining aggregate output in two consecutive quarters. Even if the economy is entering into recession, it is possible for the unemployment rate to remain relatively low. In mild recession, the possibility of unemployment rising to high levels is low. But if recession is prolonged or is severe, then there is a highly likely for the unemployment rate to increase due to the increase in the cyclical unemployment rate.
