jobs (even though there are vacancies) and in the meantime they are unemployed.
Frictional unemployment refers to unemployment caused by
people moving between jobs, careers and locations.

Season unemployment is a type of frictional unemployment

Cyclical Unemployment and the Business Cycle
The graph shows that in each case, slowing of economic activity
was correlated with spikes in unemployment.
As recession ends, we see a decrease in unemployment.
Economic policy often seeks to smooth out business cycles or
address recessions when they occur.

Concerns about Unemployment
The unemployment rate is one simple number that covers a more
complex story.
Deeper questions include:
What is the cause of unemployment? Is it frictional,
structural or cyclical?
What demographic groups are most affected by
unemployment?
What policies can we adopt to help the unemployed?

The Natural Rate of Unemployment
Recall:
Unemployment may be frictional, structural, or cyclical.
Much of the unemployment is caused by changes in the business cycle:
Booms result in people getting jobs and busts in people losing them.

The Natural Rate of Unemployment
Recall:
Unemployment may be frictional, structural, or cyclical.
Much of the unemployment is caused by changes in the business cycle:
Booms result in people getting jobs and busts in people losing them.
If the business cycle were completely mitigated, the unemployment rate
left would be the natural rate.
Therefore the natural rate is a measure of frictional and structuralunemployment.
Natural Rate of Unemployment: it is the part of the unemployment rate thatremains after the cyclical component of unemployment has been excluded. It is a
measure of the frictional unemployment and structural unemployment at which
the economy operates efficiently.
