The term “full employment” implies that all willing and able people who can work are actively engaged in the labor force. “Full employment” suggests that our country’s unemployment rate is between 3-6%. Our country will never achieve zero-percent unemployment since our economy will always experience a natural rate of unemployment.

Natural Rate of Unemployment = Frictional unemployment + Structural unemployment

Frictional unemployment are workers who are unemployed, but they have transferable job skills and they are in-between jobs.

Structural unemployment are workers who have mismatched job skills.

Discouraged workers are workers who have been out of work for four or more weeks. These individuals are not applying for open positions, are not registered at their local job service, and are not going on any interviews. They have become very discouraged and have left the labor force.

Unemployed workers are applying for open positions, are going on interviews, and are registered at their local job service. They are actively seeking employment.
