Is it reasonable to expect the unemployment rate to fall to zero for an economy?
Q. What is the relationship of frictional, structural, and cyclical unemployment to the full-employment rate of unemployment, or natural rate of unemployment?
Asked by styles4u - Sun Feb 25 12:51:10 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. No. Unemployment cannot fall to zero because of frictional unemployment. Frictional unemployment includes seasonal workers (IE: construction in the winter) and workers looking to change carriers. (IE quit job to look for a new one) Cyclical unemployment is the effect of the economic cycle on unemployment. Bad economy means higher unemployment. Good economy low unemployment. Structural unemployment is when there is a mismatch between jobs and workers. If there are too many computer programmers and not enough computer programing jobs unemployment will go up. Natural unemployment is considered full employment. It is basically when everyone who wants to work is employed and includes people who are not working because of frictional… [cont.]

A. Structural Engineering is always a safe bet for employment regardless of the economy. When the economy is strong industry is spurred to create more structure and build more infrastructure. Jobs are secure. When the economy is weak governments attempt to spur growth by creating jobs. The prime source for these jobs is often in Infrastructure construction. This type of work requires Structural Engineering.

Under these circumstances, which of the following types of unemployment is likely to have a rate less than or equal to zero? a. Structural unemployment B. None of the choices C. Cyclical unemployment D. All three choices E. Frictional unemployment
Asked by thatgirl - Fri Feb 8 00:48:54 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Structural unemployment happens when the economy shrinks and there aren't enough jobs to reach full employment. Cyclical unemployment is in sync with business cycles so thats the one likely to be near zero. There's always frictional unemployment because people get fired and there's almost always structural because we never reach full employment.

Asked by k3lly - Sun Jul 13 17:42:38 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I think the first one is A because accounted for the full employment output at equilibrium. The difference is the elasticity of aggregate supply. For the second question, you chose correctly, because frictional unemployment deals with mobility, and structural unemployment still occurs when the economy is at full production. There is no structural unemployment at full output, though. I hope that helped.

Q. a.) what is the difference between structural, frictional and cyclical unemployment? How are these three types of unemployment related to the concept of full employment? Structural unemployment is the unemployment that arises when changes in technology or international competition change the skills needed to perform jobs or change the locations of jobs. Frictional unemployment is from the normal labor turnover - from people entering and leaving the labor force and from the ongoing creation and destruction of jobs. Cyclical unemployment is the fluctuating unemployment over the business cycle. Full employment is the combination of the frictional unemployment and structural unemployment, or when there's no cyclical unemployment. b.) Why… [cont.]

A. I don't know what question you are asking. Still: 1. NAIRU is a theoretical construct. There is no evidence that is real or constant. The data may be noisy, but to assume that if it weren't we could compute NAIRU is optimistic. 2. Where is the current unemployment rate 5.5%? The unemployment rate varies from place to place. Is the 5.5% figure for your home town? for the world as a whole? 3. All the definitions you are working with are very fuzzy. Most countries, including the U.S. have seen mass migrations of people looking for work. If the jobs have moved from A to B and most of the workers follow along, are those that stayed behind really "structurally unemployed"? 4.
