Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During a recession, businesses may cut back on production and lay off workers, leading to an increase in cyclical unemployment. Frictional unemployment is caused by workers in between jobs, transitional unemployment is caused by changes in the structure of the economy, and structural unemployment is caused by a mismatch between workers' skills and the available jobs in the economy - none of which are directly linked to a recession.
