There are four types of unemployment.

Seasonal- ski instructors and teachers do something different in the summer.

Cyclical- business cycle related, all boats rising and falling together ect.

Structural- learn to code, whoops, a robot does that now.

And lastly frictional – I am between jobs, I quit my job on Monday and don’t start my next one until February. I just graduated school and trying to find my first job.

Frictional happens no matter what, in an economy someone will be unemployed no matter what and that is frictional.
