1.- The economy expands
2.- The demand curve for workers goes up, increasing salaries.
3.- Workers see plenty of attractive opportunities out there so they
quit to search for better jobs
4.- The number of volunatirly unemployed goes up (frictional
unemployment)
5.- Thus, the unemployment numbers go up temporarily, but eventually
lower.

Is this assumption correct or incorrect?
