Which of the following profession is a type of seasonal unemployment?

The correct answer is Farmer.

Key Points

• Seasonal unemployment takes place when people are unemployed during a particular season or time of the year when labour demand is lesser than usual. The agriculture sector suffers from it because of the seasonal nature of crops and farming seasons. 
• Disguised unemployment occurs when more people are employed than actually required. The marginal productivity of labour is zero. In agriculture more people work in the field, the same amount of work can be finished with a smaller workforce. 
• Frictional unemployment occurs when a person is unemployed by his choice and he is seeking a better job opportunity, it is good for the economy as the worker is looking for a job where he can be more productive. It is not found in the agriculture sector.
