Yes. In an economy based on population growth a negative is absolutely in the wrong direction for purposes like unemployment. More people out of work less people paying into the system resulting in a compounding problem and could have some very severe problems long terms on things like SS.

The question is like asking which is better, night or day. Neither are good nor are neither evil. Deflation can be positive during rates of unacceptable inflation as would be the opposite trend, inflation during periods of unacceptable deflation. This is issue is when, how and why.
