Based on their skills and situations that these people find themselves in, the types of unemployment they suffer are:

  • Ray - Structurally unemployed.
  • Mike - Structurally unemployed.
  • Missy - not considered unemployed.
  • Marge - not considered unemployed.

Which types of unemployment do some people suffer?

Structural unemployment refers to when people have skills that aren't needed by the job market. The skills that Ray has (or doesn't have) and the laborer skills that Mike has, are not needed which is why they have no jobs.

Missy and Marge are not really looking to get employed yet which means that they aren't counted as unemployed as this only includes those who actively seek jobs.
