STRUCTURAL UNEMPLOYMENT Unemployment caused by a mismatch between workers' skills and the skills needed for available jobs. Structural unemployment essentially occurs because resources, especially labor, are configured (trained) for a given technology but the economy demands goods and services using another technology. Employers seek workers who have one type of skill and workers seeking employment have a different type of skill.

The other three are cyclical unemployment, seasonal unemployment, and frictional unemployment. Frictional and structural unemployment are the two components of natural unemployment.
