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)

friksjonsledighet
Definition from
Nasjonal digital læringsarena:
De som slutter i et arbeid, må ofte gå ledige en tid før de finner noe nytt. På samme måte kan det gå litt tid før de som nettopp er ferdige med utdanningen sin, finner seg et passende arbeid. Dette gjelder også noen av dem som har skaffet seg svært lang utdanning.
Example sentences:
Colbjørnsen (1982) mener det er nødvendig å skille mellom struktur- og friksjonsarbeidsledighet. (uib.no)
Begrepet naturlig arbeidsledighet er det mest kompliserte begrepet her. Boka definerer det som summen av struktur‑ og friksjonsledighet. (nettakademiet.no)
Denne søkeprosessen innebærer at det alltid er noe friksjonsledighet, (regjeringen)
