Natural rate of unemployment includes only frictional and structural unemployment levels. Therefore natural unemployment rate can be calculated as
Natural rate of unemployment = frictional unemployment + structural unemployment
= 2.3% + 2.1%
= 4.4%
Cyclical unemployment rate = total unemployment rate - natural rate of unemployment
= total unemployment rate - (frictional + structural unemployment rates)
= 12.1% - 4.4%
= 7.7%
So the correct answer is 4.4 ; 7.7

Frictional unemployment rate is 3%, structural unemployment rate is 2.1%, seasonal unemployment rate is 0.8%, actual unemployment rate is 8%. Calculate the cyclical unemployment rate.
The sum of frictional and structural unemployment is the: amount of unemployment in an economy during a recession. cyclical amount of unemployment. actual unemployment level. natural rate of unemployment.
The natural rate of unemployment is the sum of frictional and structural unemployment and does not include cyclical unemployment. Discuss how changes in the economy over the last 20 years have affected either frictional or structural unemployment. Then discuss changes that might be coming in the next 20 years that will affect frictional or structural unemployment. Post the reference.

The natural rate of unemployment is the unemployed rate when the economy is fully employed with AS = AD; and the Long- run supply curve is vertical at this point of equilibrium; or, the rates arrived at by adding up frictional and structural). If the AS=AD occurs to the left of the vertical supply curve, the unemployment is normal ( includes all three types = cyclical, frictional, and structural). True False
