Step-by-step explanation:

Unemployment is subdivided into categories. Frictional unemployment occurs when a person is switching jobs and going through an unemployed time. Cyclical unemployment occurs due to crises of capitalism, in times of economic warming, many people are employed. In times of crisis, unemployment increases.
