structural unemployment is an unemployment that occurs as a result of changes in the economy. These changes can be as a result of changes in technology, polices or competition. Structural unemployment tends to be permanent.  Ned is structurally unemployed due to changes in his industry

Frictional unemployment:  the period of time a person is unemployed from the period he leaves his current job and the time he gets another job. Eg. The period from when graduates till when he gets a job, he is frictionally unemployed
