Frictional unemployment is the term used to describe
unemployment that results from difficulties in matching
230
qualifed workers with new jobs. Many qualified workers
seeking work are not able to find new jobs right away, usually
because of a lack of complete information about new job
openings. While it is likely that qualified workers will soon be
matched with new jobs, these workers are considered
frictionally unemployed during the time that they spend
searching for their new jobs.
