Similar URLs

[investormill]

If I have two similar urls:

www.investormill.com/unemployment-rate

and

www.investormill.com/unemployment-rate-annual

Would this confuse search engines or "cannibalize" my content?

For clarity: the first page would provide data on the monthly unemployment rate, the second would provide an annual unemployment rate figure.  So, there would be a unique series on each page.  Just trying to figure out how to best approach this when crafting urls.

Thanks for your help!

No it should not.

As long as each page has unique and differentiated content you should see them perform just fine independent of each other.

i think that is better to have a unique page with many sections:

1) monthly unemployment rate

2) annual unemployment rate

so you may avoid having two pages poorly positioned in the search engine respect one page that a well positioned because have a good content
