I do not know enough about Canadian politics and unemployment insurance arrangements to understand why its percentage of long-term unemployed did not change much after the global financial crisis while it skyrocketed in the USA. European unemployment duration is already been long. There was a significant improvement in the number of long-term unemployed as percentage of all unemployed men under the horrors of Thatcherism.
