Structural unemployment is aggravated and reduced by technology depending on the sector and advancements coming with it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Technology has been responsible for the increase and decrease in structure unemployment which in simple terms means technology has given and taken people's jobs.

This is because technology changes an industry fundamentally. The people who are replaced by self serve robots loose their jobs but many gain the jobs of handling the new installed equipment like this in companies.

This leads to the point of technological unemployment which means that some people remain unemployed because they do not have certain technical knowledge which is unfortunate for many from lower classes.
