ANSWER: cyclical unemployment. Due to the change of the economic cycle, that is, the economy from recession to expansion or from expansion to recession caused by the form of unemployment fluctuations known as cyclical unemployment.

ANSWER: structural unemployment. A person is structurally unemployed when he does not have the skills needed in the Labor market. In this case, there will be structural unemployment because coal miners working in coal-fired power generation may not have as many skills and knowledge as other sectors of the economy need.

a financial analyst who quits his/her job in Chicago and is pursing similar work in Arizona:

ANSWER: frictional unemployment. Frictional employment occurs when a worker moves from one job to another, or when one needs to spend time looking for a new job. In this case, a worker is frictional unemployment. That is because, after Chicago's resignation, there will be a gap until his job in Arizona is done. Therefore, this gap will cause frictional unemployment.
