“George left his job to pursue a training course. After completion of training, he did not get the job as per his preference and at the expected wage.”

With reference to the data given above, which type of unemployment situation is depicted?

A. Disguised unemployment

B. Structural unemployment

C. Frictional unemployment

D. Seasonal unemployment

A

Disguised Unemployment is correct. 

i think answer should be C.frictional unemployment

because the unemployment is between switching the jobs.and he did not accept the job.i.e.he is still unemployed.

disguised unemployment implies he is visibly employed,but actually unemployed as there are lower wages.(that would mean he has already accepted the job,which in this case,he hasn't.)

is it possible?

There is a caveat of training - that enhanced his training skills. Herein, disguised unemployment refers to the adoption of inferior jobs with a relatively lower productivity. 

Frictional unemployment is the result of employment transitions within an economy. It is due to voluntary movement by workers.
