  1. Name the type of Unemployment frictional, structural, cyclical or seasonal

  2. Summary • FRICTIONAL: consists of those searching for jobs or waiting to take jobs soon (not bad, there is mobility as people change or seek jobs) • STRUCTURAL: due to changes in the structure of demand for labor (skills become obsolete—a new trade needs to be learned) • CYCLICAL: caused by the recessionary phase of the business cycle • SEASONAL: work done only certain months of the year

  3. Frictional, Structural, Cyclical or Seasonal? • 1. You have just graduated from college and are looking for work. • 2. Military cutbacks have led to displacement of workers in military-related industries. • 3. A ski-coach during June, July, August and September. • 4. A computer programmer is laid off due to a recession.

  4. Frictional, Structural, Cyclical or Seasonal? • 5. Advances in technology make assembly line worker’s jobs obsolete. • 6. A skilled woodworker becomes unemployed because a machine can do the job faster. • 7. Slumping sales lead to a cashier being laid off • 8. An editor leaves her job in New York to find work in San Francisco.
