To determine

Types of unemployment rate

Concept introduction:

  • Frictional unemployment is when people quit a job they don't like in order to get a better one. The frictional unemployment rate is calculated by dividing the workers actively looking for jobs by the total labor force.
  • Structural unemployment is when job skills do not match any new jobs. That's usually caused by, and also leads to, long-term unemployment.
  • The overall unemployment rate is the number of unemployed people divided by the total number of people in the labor force.
