Infographic description

The title of the infographic is "Commodity cycle comparison for Alberta, 1972 to 1986 and 2000 to 2015"

This is a line chart.

The y axis represents an index for gross domestic income per capita, with the start of the cycle corresponding to 100. The y axis starts at 100 and goes to 200, with increments of 10.

The x axis represents years since the cycle began, and goes from 0 to 15, with increments of 1.

There are two series. The first series represents Alberta during the time of oil shocks from 1972 to 1986. The second series represents Alberta during the 2000s boom from 2000 to 2015.

Both series start at 0 years since the cycle began and at 100 for the index.

At year 1 since the cycle began, the first series (Alberta, oil shocks from 1972 to 1986) is at 116.0 of the index, while the second series (Alberta, 2000s boom from 2000 to 2015) is at 110.0.

At year 2 since the cycle began, the first series (Alberta, oil shocks from 1972 to 1986) is at 142.4 of the index, while the second series (Alberta, 2000s boom from 2000 to 2015) is at 118.4.
