Abstract
The average duration of unemployment in Alberta has nearly tripled over the past 10 years. The figure presents data showing the 3-month moving average of the duration of spells of unemployment in Alberta from January 2000 to October 2018. The duration of unemployment is measured in weeks. We have used the 3-month moving average approach to smooth month-to-month fluctuations. In October 2018, an unemployed person in Alberta was out of work for an average of 20.9 weeks. Ten years earlier, in October 2008, this same measure was 7.4 weeks.
