    The correct answer is "Unemployment rates rose"

    A recession occurred in 1982, the second year of Reagan's term. This was central to the campaign of Treasury Secretary Paul Volcker against inflation: applying the Phillips Curve or the NAIRU theory, high unemployment (over 10% of the labor force, both in 1982 and 1983) results in a reduction of inflation.
