It is specifically stated in the fourth paragraph (the one that discusses Frictional Unemployment) that

...an economy in which the unemployed take longer to reenter the workforce could be significantly injured.

Hence, the passage does not support this case as a situation in which Frictional Unemployment can be good for the economy.

According to the passage, offered conditions and demand always affect the time spent between jobs - they are factors which create Frictional Unemployment.
