Today the United States has unemployed people who began as cyclically unemployed during the recession but have since become structurally unemployed because their skills have become obsolete. How important is the idea of remaining up-to-date on training and skills in the workforce? Is there a certain industry that requires skills to be current?

Indicate whether each of the following people is frictionally unemployed, structurally unemployed, seasonally unemployed, cyclically unemployed or not officially unemployed.

A. A woman with good job skills who cannot find a job due to a sluggish economy.
B. A poorly educated former telephone operator, replaced by a machine, looking for work.

Since the last recession in the U.S., the number of individuals who are unemployed for more than twenty-six consecutive weeks remains high. This is a serious problem because the longer individuals remain unemployed, the more their skills deteriorate. If and when these individuals return to the labor force, their labor productivity (and, thus, U.S. productivity) is likely to be less than it once was. Given this relationship between long-term unemployment and productivity, how might long-term unemployment affect the exchange value of the U.S. dollar? Please defend your reasoning.
