STRUCTURAL UNEMPLOYMENT: Unemployment caused by a mismatch between workers' skills and 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 how have one type of skill and workers who seek employment have a different type of skill.

The other three are cyclical unemployment, seasonal unemployment, and frictional unemployment. See also | unemployment | cyclical unemployment | frictional unemployment | seasonal unemployment | unemployment sources | discouraged workers | technology | economic growth | human capital |
