US Egg Consumption per Person vs US Unemployment Rate

US Egg Consumption per Person and US Unemployment Rate correlate at r = -0.44 over 33 years (1991–2023), p = 0.0099. With the time trend removed, r = -0.59. Holds up after detrending.

Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.0099) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.59). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
