Answer: Structural unemployment

Explanation:

Structural unemployment occurs when the skills needed by the job market are not the skills that unemployed people have.

It usually happens as a result of an improvement in technology because the technology introduced would make the skills that the previous workers had obsolete.

In this scenario, the introduction of more efficient elevators reduced the need for elevator operators so their skills were no longer needed and they became unemployed.
