Unemployment in the short run can be frictional, structural or cyclical. Frictional unemployment means that the skills people can offer does not match up with the skills employers are looking for. This type of unemployment can be solved by acquiring more human capital. Structural unemployment is when people enter or leave the labor force and when people leave their jobs to go find a new job. Cyclical unemployment is caused by the ups and downs in the business cycle. In the long run classical model, there is no cyclical unemployment.
When looking at this in terms of the Philips curve, in the short run, there is a tradeoff between inflation and unemployment, so people's inflationary expectations can shift the Philips curve. In the long run, as unemployment is fixed at the natural rate of unemployment, the NAIRU, the Philips curve is vertical. However the curve can be shifted to the right, that is the natural rate of unemployment could grow if there is a larger labor force.

If inflation falls why would unemployment rise?
When economists look at inflation and unemployment in the short term, they see a rough inverse correlation between the two. When unemployment is high, inflation is low and when inflation is high, unemployment is low. This has presented a problem to regulators who want to limit both. This relationship between inflation and unemployment is the Phillips curve. The short term Phillips curve is a declining one. Fig 2.4.1-Short term Phillips curveThis is a rough estimation of a short-term Phillips curve. As you can see, inflation is inversely related to unemployment. The long-term Phillips curve, however, is different. Economists have noted that in the long run, there seems to be no correlation between inflation and unemployment.
