Final answer:

Frictional unemployment is temporary joblessness during job transitions. Nicholas is an example, while Aaron quitting to retire isn't frictional unemployment.


Explanation:

Frictional unemployment refers to the temporary unemployment that occurs as individuals search for a new job that better suits their skills or preferences. It is a natural part of a dynamic labor market where people transition between jobs.

  • Nicholas who lost his job as a real estate salesperson due to a weak housing market during a recession is a prime example of frictional unemployment as he seeks a new job in his field.
  • In contrast, Aaron who quit his job to retire and is not actively seeking work does not fall under frictional unemployment, as he is voluntarily out of the labor force.
