Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Frictional unemployment is the unemployment that arises from the normal labor turnover from people entering and leaving the labor force and from the ongoing creation and destruction of jobs. For instance, newly graduated students entering the labor market looking for work are frictionally unemployed. Structural unemployment represents the unemployment created by changes in technology or international competition that change the skills needed to perform jobs or change the locations of jobs in the economy. For instance, workers are structurally unemployed if they lose their jobs because of changes in the amount of foreign competition and if they have different skills from those required by new jobs or if they live in a different region of the country from where new jobs are being created. Finally, cyclical unemployment is the unemployment created by business cycle fluctuations in economic activity. Specifically the higher than normal unemployment at a business cycle trough and the lower than normal unemployment at a business cycle peak is called cyclical unemployment. For instance, a worker laid off in 2009 because of the recession is cyclically employed.
