Interesting and makes sense for someone someone like me who's a dummy for macroeconomics. Unemployed people can't afford to spend too much, thus businesses revenue decreases, they lay off more people and it becomes a negative feedback loop.

I've also seen this VOX documentary about the "yield curve" which also famous for predicting recessions.
