The idea comes from Economic cycle. See the Related Link below.

The main idea is that while the economy is booming the unemployment is shrinking. People are needed to work/produce and employers are willing to pay more and more to get the most qualified workers, thus driving the wages up. They have nowhere to take the money from but to increase the price of their product/service. Thus driving the price level up (inflation).

After reaching the highest point - the economy goes into crisis/recession. The main problem is overproduction. Production shrinks. Producers cut costs: decrease output, layoff people. In this period the unemployment begins to grow.

If inflation falls why would unemployment rise?

When economists look at inflation and unemployment in the short term, they see a rough inverse correlation between the two. When unemployment is high, inflation is low and when inflation is high, unemployment is low. This has presented a problem to regulators who want to limit both. This relationship between inflation and unemployment is the Phillips curve. The short term Phillips curve is a declining one. Fig 2.4.1-Short term Phillips curveThis is a rough estimation of a short-term Phillips curve. As you can see, inflation is inversely related to unemployment. The long-term Phillips curve, however, is different. Economists have noted that in the long run, there seems to be no correlation between inflation and unemployment.
