Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Frictional unemployment increases when individuals are searching for new jobs or transitioning between jobs. When a student finishes college, they are likely to experience frictional unemployment as they search for their first full-time job in their field of study. This is a natural part of the labor market and does not result from any structural or cyclical factors.
