Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Frictional unemployment refers to the temporary unemployment that results from the time and effort it takes for job seekers to find new employment opportunities that best match their skills and preferences. This type of unemployment is associated with normal labour turnover or the movement of workers between jobs within the same industry or occupation. It does not include discouraged searchers, voluntary part-time unemployment, job loss due to economic downturn, or technological changes.
