Joe has been working at a coffee shop since he graduated from college. But yesterday he realized that if he has to fill another
coffee cup he will cry, so he quit his job. He'll look for another job once he gets the smell of coffee out of his clothes.What kind of unemployment is Joe experiencing?A) cyclicalB) frictionalC) structuralD) technological
The correct answer is option b) "frictional". Frictional unemployment occurs when someone quit his job before finding a new one. In this case Joe is experiencing tireness and he needs to take a break of his current work. This type of unemployment is natural and could be considered beneficial since people look for other jobs where they could be more productive.
