between jobs: Includes people experiencing short
spells of unemployment
Includes new and returning entrants into the labour
market
Imperfect information about available job
opportunities can lengthen the period of someone’s

opportunities as the pattern of labour demand in the
economy changes
Occupational immobility of labour
Often involves long-term unemployment
Prevalent in regions where industries go into long-

CYCLICAL UNEMPLOYMENT

employment and unemployment
Caused by a fall in aggregate demand leading to a loss of
real national output and employment
