Imagine you and your friends are running a lemonade stand. If most of you lose your jobs, you have less money to buy lemonade. You might not buy as much, so the price goes up, just like in the real world when people lose their jobs and prices rise.
Examples
- Your lemonade stand sells more lemonade when your friends are working
- You and your friends have less money to buy candy when you lose jobs
- The lemonade prices go up if your friends don't buy as much
