Question

Rabia does not currently have a job but declined a job offer because she feels her skills merit better pay in a better position. Which terms can be used to describe Rabia?

Answer 1

Rabia is still unemployed.

Answer 2

The correct answer is:

Frictionally unemployed.

Frictional unemployment results from a period spent between jobs if a worker is seeking for a job or transitioning from one position to another. Someone may be searching for a job change for better possibilities, or, salary or wages, or because of displeasure with the former job. Strikes by trade unions can also provide context for frictional unemployment to rise.
