Sometimes unemployment is simply a problem of not having enough jobs,
but often it is a problem of balance.

“Structural Unemployment” is a term
used to identify the mismatch between the skills that job seekers bring to
the labor market versus the skill that employers demand.

for employers and job seekers alike, leaving many positions unfilled not
because the available labor pool is unskilled, but because their skills do
not match the job requirements.
