Why does inflation rise as employment rise?

Why does inflation rise as employment rise? And why does unemployment rise as inflation falls?

There is a million different answers, but probably the 'text book' one is;

The exact reverse happens with deflation and unemployment. Unemployment doesn't fall as a result of deflation.
