(i) Disguised Unemployment. A situation in which more persons are employed on a job than are actually required.So even if you move a few people out, production will not be affected. The person who are withdrawn from that job is known as disguised unemployed person

(ii) Seasonal Unemployment. It means that the demand for a specific kind of work and workers change with the change in the season.Such as agricultural industry, wherein the demand for workers is more during harvesting than is required in other months in a year.

(iii) Structural Unemployment Unemployment caused by the fact that the economy fails to generate enough jobs. It is the result ofthe backwardness and low rate of economic development of a country.

Eg : A change of energy use from coal to electric power is bound to curtail coal mining activity and cause unemployment there.
