A3+-+Gross+Domestic+Product

**Economy**
If the Gross Domestic Product is above 3% then the economy is in good shape. The farther above 3% the better the state of the economy. If it is below 3% for more than 2 quarters then the country is in recession. If the Gross Domestic Product rises above 3% again the country is out of the recession. If the country is in a recession for several years it is in a depression.

**Employment**
For every 2% change in Gross Domestic Product there is a 1% difference in employment. If Gross Domestic Product rises unemployment goes down and vis versa.
