Imagine you're at a candy store with your friends. If all of you have money, you can buy lots of candy, but if some of you lose their jobs and run out of money, they'll be able to buy less candy. When that happens, the store might raise prices because not as many people are buying candy anymore. That's like what happens in the real world when unemployment goes up: fewer people spend money, so businesses raise prices to make up for it.
