Answer to Question 1

There is unemployment even at full employment because there always will be unemployment. Unemployment is a natural occurrence in any economy with changes, such as high school or college graduates entering the labor force, or technological advances in one sector, or consumer preferences changing to favor one product over another. Frictional and structural unemployment will always exist. Cyclical unemployment, however, is a different matter. Cyclical unemployment does not seem to have the same degree of inevitability and hence full employment is defined as occurring when cyclical unemployment equals zero.

Answer to Question 2

B
