Okun's law suggests that when there is one percent change in unemployment, there is two percent opposit change in GDP.
In other words, it says that GDP and Unemployment have revese correlation and one one increases, the other decreases.
To test the Okun's law, lets use the actual GDP (per capita) and Unemployment data of Pakistan.
As suggested by the Okun's law, our data also shows the same trend.
