Question

You hear one politician who is currently in office promote that the overall unemployment rate is declining due to my effective economic decisions. Vote for me again to continue this trend. You think about the working-age adults in your town who you know and conclude that a good number of them are jobless, although they are willing and able to work. As an economics student, you jump to analyze this situation with your macroeconomic knowledge.

Why might the overall unemployment rate decline while several workers remain jobless? Explain and be sure to include the appropriate types of unemployment in your response.
