Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When there is high unemployment, it means there are idle resources (such as labor and capital) that can be utilized. By increasing the production of one good or service, these idle resources can be put to use without necessarily reducing the production of something else. Therefore, the country can increase the production of one good or service without decreasing the production of something else.
