Cyclical unemployment occurs because a workers skills do not match available jobs

False. Cyclical unemployment occurs because a workers skills do not match available jobs. Structural unemployment happens when workers' skills do not match the jobs that are available. When structural unemployment starts to rise it's due to reorganization within a company typically resulting from technologic changes or advancements. This leads to changes in the supply and demand of employment and how they relate to hiring new employees based on their skills and strengths.
