4. Frictional unemployment
Explanation
Frictional unemployment (also search unemployment) occurs when workers lose their current job and are in the process of finding another one.
Seasonal unemployment exists because certain industries only produce or distribute their products at certain times of the year. Industries where seasonal unemployment is common include farming, tourism, and construction. Example during christmas, demand for cards and trees are higher compared to other months.
Cyclical unemployment is a type of unemployment which is related to the cyclical trends in the industry or the business cycle ( boom, recession, depression, recovery)
Structural unemployment is caused by a mismatch of skills between the unemployed and available jobs.
People who are neither working nor looking for work are counted as not in labour force.
