Question

Mr. Skinner has quit his job in order to look for another one. Mr. Skinner A) is cyclically unemployed. B) is frictionally unemployed. C) is structurally unemployed. D) is not counted in the labor force.

Answer 1

The answer is B. I'm taking economics as well. =)

Answer 2

The correct answer is B.

Frictional unemployment refers to the time in which a worker does not have a job because he isseeking for a new one or transitioning from one job to another.

Therefore, since Mr. Skinner quit in order to look for a different job, he would count as frictionally unemployed.
