Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Structural unemployment arises from a mismatch between the skills and qualifications of workers and the requirements of available jobs. Fluctuations in the business cycle, which result in cyclical unemployment, do not cause structural unemployment. Minimum wages, labor unions, and efficiency wages can all contribute to structural unemployment by reducing the demand for labor or increasing the cost of employing workers.
