Explanation:

Cyclical unemployment is unemployment that occurs when full employment can not be met by the aggregate demand for goods and services in an economy.

This takes place during times of decreased economic growth or times of economic slowdown.

Cyclical unemployment is directly linked to the degree of macroeconomic behavior, which is the combined or collective activity of all economically involved individuals and entities.

Instead of linear, this overall trend is cyclical-economic activity tends to increase and fall rather than always rising or falling.
