Answer 1

Answer:

C. Structural

The type of unemployment that arises from a mismatch between the skills of available workers and the skills required for available jobs is called structural unemployment. Structural unemployment is a form of involuntary unemployment caused by a mismatch between the skills that workers in the economy can offer, and the skills demanded of workers by employers (also known as the skills gap).
