It can occur even if there are enough jobs in the market and wage rate is equal to equilibrium wage because of the reason such as dissatisfaction from an old job, moving to new area or state, and better job. Structural unemployment occurs when the jobs are fewer in the market than the workers. It occurs when wages rates become higher than the equilibrium wage rate.
