Frictional rate refers to the unemployment that occurs when individuals are temporarily between jobs or transitioning in their careers. It is typically calculated by assessing the ratio of frictional unemployment to the total labor force. Structural rate, on the other hand, arises from mismatches between workers' skills and job requirements, often affected by technological changes or shifts in the economy. It can be calculated by evaluating the number of structurally unemployed individuals relative to the labor force, considering factors like industry demand and skill availability.
