The Office for National Statistics recently announced that the unemployment rate was reduced to 7.8% from 7.9%. In your opinion, which type of unemployment is responsible for this reduction? Explain your answer.
I know the main types of unemployment but i dont feel as though i have enough knowledge to answer the question.
hi there, why do you think that cyclical seems the most obvious one? i have a similar question as the guy who posted the question.
It's hard to say due to the lack of information, but we could say that the unemployment rate was reduced due to an increase in something that affected AD (in a positive way) hence causing employment to increase. I doubt full employment would be at 7.x% for a country hence there's probably going to be some cyclical unemployment among other types.
