Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Frictional unemployment occurs when individuals are in-between jobs or are searching for a new job. This best describes Kim's situation as she just graduated from college and is actively looking for employment. Structurally unemployed occurs due to a mismatch between job skills and available jobs, cyclically unemployed occurs due to fluctuations in the economy, and seasonally unemployed occurs due to a seasonal change in job demand. None of these options are applicable to Kim's situation.
