In the first sentence, factories closed, so people lost their jobs. The noun with the negative prefix un- and the suffix -ment, 'unemployment', names the state of having no job and fits the context. 'employment' means having a job, which contradicts the situation. In the second sentence, the gap needs a noun for the person who gives work and pays salaries. The suffix -er marks the doer of the action, so 'employer' is correct. 'employee' (suffix -ee) names the person who receives the work and the pay, so it does not fit.
