Phantom unemployment is a type of unemployment that occurs when there are people who claim to be unemployed in order to get unemployment benefits though they really are not qualified. Supposedly, these people claim to be searching for jobs but realistically, they are not searching for jobs. They do not want to work as they are contented with receiving the benefits provided by the government to the unemployed.
People do this to get money without working by meeting the local requirements for unemployment benefits and other benefits given to those looking for job.
