Which type of unemployment occurs when workers are not able to find jobs due to a mismatch of skills, even though jobs are available?

The type of unemployment that happens when workers cannot find jobs because their skills don't match what employers need is called structural unemployment. This situation arises when there are changes in the economy, like new technologies or shifts in consumer demand, which require different skills that some workers may not possess. For example, if a factory starts using advanced machinery, workers who only know how to operate older equipment might find themselves without jobs, even if the factory is hiring. This mismatch means that while there are jobs available, some workers are unable to fill them because they lack the necessary skills. To reduce structural unemployment, workers may need to learn new skills or get additional training.
