Abstract
This paper examines the univariate time-series properties of the unemployment rate in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. Tests are employed that allow for endogenously determined break dates and the results are compared to stationarity tests that assume no break in the data. The structural break unit-root tests contradict the findings of the standard tests. We conclude that North American unemployment rates are trend stationary around a breaking trend.
