During the course of a​ year, the labor force consists of the same 1,165 people. Of​ these 22 lack skills that employers desire and hence remain unemployed throughout the year. At the same​ time, every month during the​ year, 24 different people become​unemployed, and 24 other different people who were unemployed find jobs. There is no cyclical unemployment.

c. Suppose that a system of unemployment compensation is established. Each​ month, 24 new people​ (not including the 22 lacking required​ skills) continue to become​ unemployed, but each monthly group of newly unemployed now takes two months to find a job. Calculate the frictional unemployment rate after this change.
