Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Frictional unemployment is the short-term unemployment that arises due to the time it takes for workers to find a job that matches their skills and preferences. It can also occur when workers are between jobs or just entering the labour market. Structural unemployment refers to unemployment that arises from a mismatch between the skills or location of workers and the available jobs. Cyclical unemployment is the unemployment that occurs due to fluctuations in the business cycle while seasonal unemployment is the variation in employment due to seasonal factors such as shift in weather or demand. Unnatural unemployment is not a commonly used term in economics.
