US Marriage Rate vs US Annual Working Hours per Worker
US Marriage Rate and US Annual Working Hours per Worker correlate at r = +0.30 over 76 years (1890–2022), p = 0.0082. With the time trend removed, r = -0.51. Direction flips without the trend.
Verdict: Direction flips without the trend. The raw correlation is 0.30, but once each series' time trend is removed it becomes -0.51. The year-to-year movements run the opposite way to the long-run trends, so the headline number is misleading.
