Frictional unemployment is the unemployment that results from people changing jobs or entering the labor force for the first time. In this case, the individual is between jobs but has good job prospects, indicating that they are actively seeking work and are likely to find a new job relatively quickly. Therefore, they are best considered as frictionally unemployed.
