<p>Are you referring to real life circumstances or in a hypothetical world? There is an interesting article about the correlation between wages and unemployment found here: <a href="https://www.stlouisfed.org/On-The-Economy/2014/December/Are-Wages-and-the-Unemployment-Rate-Correlated" rel="nofollow">https://www.stlouisfed.org/On-The-Economy/2014/December/Are-Wages-and-the-Unemployment-Rate-Correlated</a></p>

<p>Essentially this article states that higher levels of wages are weakly correlated with the unemployment rate based on data that was compiled and published in The Regional Economist. They also argue that when business conditions shift, it impacts both the unemployment rate and wages. </p>

The article is indeed helpful thank you!However I was referring to a hypothetical economy where every factor is stable and only the wages can be changed.I think it is somehow related to Keynes theory about the accomplishment of full employment.
