Explain an experience that you or someone you know, including yourself, had with unemployment. Think about the reason for the unemployment and how long it lasted. The following is a list of possible causes for unemployment. Choose the one that most closely fits your experience: * Seasonal * Recessions * A change in technology * Your company relocated and laid off workers

For each of the following scenarios, state whether the unemployment is frictional, structural or cyclical. Justify your answer. (a) Ted lost his job when the steel mill closed down. He lacks the skills to work in another industry and so has been unemployed over a year. (b) Gwen had a job as a clerk but quit when her husband was transferred to another state. She looked for a month before finding a new job that she liked.
