Here are two views of monthly Canadian unemployment data. The graph on the left of Figure 2 shows all 20 years of the series (240 points) but has been crushed into a very short time- scale. The overall trend and range of seasonality are clearly shown. The graph on the right of Figure 2 shows only some of the series, just under two years, at a scale 100 times bigger. The points have been marked to emphasise the effect”
