Definition from
John S. Irons, Washington DC:
Short-term joblessness associated with mobility. A person who leaves a job to find something better is considered frictionally unemployed. This type of unemployment characterizes workers subject to seasonal work (e.g., construction, agricultural, winter recreational workers, etc.).
Example sentences:
Technological change often reduces frictional unemployment, for example: the internet made job searches cheaper and more comprehensive. (EconomicExpert.com)
Frictional unemployment is that unemployment caused by information or search costs. Usually when a person quits, is fired, or enters the labor market, there are jobs available for which that person is qualified. The person will be frictionally unemployed because it takes time (and effort) to find the jobs that are available. (Robert Schenk)
Finding the open positions and workers available is a large factor in frictional unemployment, even in this Great Recession. (newsneconomics.com)

Example sentences:
Η Ανεργία τριβής, προκύπτει λόγω της ακατάπαυστης κίνησης των ανθρώπων μεταξύ περιοχών και θέσεων εργασίας ή διαφόρων σταδίων του κύκλου ζωής. Επίσης, περιλαμβάνονται τα άτομα που, λόγω φυσικών αιτιών, καθίστανται ανίκανα προς εργασία. Ουσιαστικά, αποτελεί το ελάχιστο επίπεδο ανεργίας που δεν μπορεί να μειωθεί σε μια δυναμική κοινωνία (εφ’ όσον, ακόμη και αν η οικονομία είναι σε πλήρη απασχόληση, κάποιοι θα αποχωρούν από τις θέσεις τους, κάποιοι φοιτητές θα ψάχνουν για εργασία μετά την αποφοίτησή τους, κάποιοι γονείς θα επανεντάσσονται στο εργατικό δυναμικό, και κάποιοι θα θέλουν μια καλύτερη ή μια διαφορετική εργασία).
