Answer:

Naomi experiences Frictional Unemployment due her movement to a new city.

Step-by-step explanation:

Although Naomi has a degree in a field that is experiencing a great deal of growth, her movement causes her to remain unemployed, not because she has no skill but because of the difference in the job and worker demand and supply between these two places, that is characteristic of frictional unemployment. Frictional unemployment is a type of unemployment that is based on the unemployed person's circumstances. It can be as a result of the person trying to find a better job or as a result of the person moving from an old place to a new place. This type of unemployment exists because jobs and workers have their differences, creating a type of mismatch between the supply and demand of jobs and workers.
