As many of you who have looked for an apartment have discovered when the vacancy rate in the rental market is too low you will have a difficult time finding the right apartment. Another reason that unemployment is not zero when the economy is at full employment is due to what is called structural unemployment a mismatch between job requirements and the skills or availability of local workers. Clearly this kind of unemployment is undesirable. Nonetheless it is something that monetary policy can do little about.
