Types of Unemployment
• Frictional Unemployment• Short-term unemployment of those workers
who are in between jobs or people who are entering or re-entering the workforce. E.g. students, parents, people who have left work to try and find higher paying jobs
• Seasonal Unemployment• Climatic changes that leave workers
unemployed for specific periods of the year. E.g. fishing (east), farming, tourism (west)

• Structural Unemployment• Result of structural changes in the
economy. As the economy evolves, some industries grow while others decline or disappear. E.g. depletion of natural resources causes miners to lose their jobs. People are having less children, therefore, there is a decreased need for teachers.• Technological Unemployment - workers
losing their jobs due to technology.

• Cyclical Unemployment • Caused by reduced employment
opportunities during periods of economic decline. Spending decreases and demand decreases. Demand decreases means less need for supply. Decreased supply means unemployment.

Costs of Unemployment
• Individual – stress, financial hardship, discouragement, and low self-esteem for jobless workers and their families.
• Can lead to social unrest and produce negative attitudes toward the government in power and toward immigration policy.
• Some unemployed Canadians believe that immigrants are taking jobs.

Canadian Unemployment
Patterns• Average rate in 1966 – 4%• Average rate in 1990 – 10%• Reasons
• Globalization has led to increased replacement unemployment as manufacturing jobs migrate towards countries with cheaper labour costs.
• High E.I. acts as a disincentive• Increase in technology

The Rules• Companies – You have a finite number of
resources at your disposal. You also want to make money, you are a business after all. You also need to make sure your employees are happy to ensure they do not go on strike.
• Employees – you have your list of demands but remember you must be reasonable as you do not want the company to have a lock out.
