seasonal unemployment
Weather-dependent work loss
Seasonal unemployment is joblessness caused by predictable fluctuations in labor demand throughout the year.
Agricultural workers face it after harvest ends; ski instructors face it when snow melts; retail workers hired for the holiday rush face it in January.
Unlike cyclical unemployment from recessions, seasonal unemployment follows a regular, foreseeable pattern.
