Structural unemployment
Unemployment that occurs when there is a mismatch between available jobs and available skills. It is when a worker’s skills don’t match any jobs in the market (ex. A technological change which makes certain jobs obsolete).
Unemployment that varies with the business cycles. It is associated with change in the business conditions – primarily recessions and depressions.
It is a subgroup of structural unemployment. It is unemployment that varies with the seasons (ex. A ski instructor does not work in the summer).
Individuals moving from job to job and in and out of unemployment. They include those seeking a job for the first time. There will always be some frictional unemployment because jobs can not be found instantly. It is unrealistic to think we could have a zero unemployment level because of that.
Seasonal unemployment

Natural rate of unemployment
Is the rate that prevails when only frictional and structural unemployment exist. It is about 6.6% in Canada.
Occurs only if workers who are between jobs and those whose skills are not needed in the economy are unemployed.
Doesn’t mean that everyone is working (i.e. Full time student, stay at home parents)
