Why I'm I getting this error on Employee Controller rest of them are working perfectly Here is my Employee Controller

public class EmployeeController : ApiController
    {
        #region Call service
        private readonly IEmployeeServices _employeeServices;
        public EmployeeController(IEmployeeServices employeeServices)
        {
            _employeeServices = employeeServices;
        }

        readonly IEmployeeServices employeeServices = new EmployeeServices();

        public EmployeeController():base()
        {
            _employeeServices = employeeServices;
        }
}

AND this is my perfectly Working Product Controller

public class ProductController : ApiController
    {
        #region Call service

        private readonly IProductServices _productServices;

        public ProductController(IProductServices productServices)
        {
            _productServices = productServices;
        }

        readonly IProductServices productServices = new ProductServices();

        public ProductController()
        {
            _productServices = productServices;
        }
}

Update

Here is the Unity Configuration

   public static class UnityConfig
    {
        public static void RegisterComponents()
        {
            var container = new UnityContainer();
            System.Web.Mvc.DependencyResolver.SetResolver(new UnityDependencyResolver(container));

            GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.DependencyResolver = new Unity.WebApi.UnityDependencyResolver(container);

            RegisterTypes(container);
        }

        public static void RegisterTypes(IUnityContainer container)
        {
            ComponentLoader.LoadContainer(container, ".\\bin", "TheWork.dll");
            ComponentLoader.LoadContainer(container, ".\\bin", "BusinessServices.dll");
            ComponentLoader.LoadContainer(container, ".\\bin", "DataModel.dll");
        }
}

Try this way :)

        /// Load your modules or register your services here!
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="kernel">The kernel.</param>
        private static void RegisterServices(IKernel kernel)
        {
            kernel.Bind<IEmployeeServices >().To<EmployeeServices >().InRequestScope();
        }
