US Nuclear Power Generation vs US Annual Working Hours per Worker
US Nuclear Power Generation and US Annual Working Hours per Worker correlate at r = -0.75 over 59 years (1965–2023), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = -0.08. Likely spurious (shared time trend).
Verdict: Likely spurious (shared time trend). Both series mostly just trend over time. After removing that trend the correlation collapses to -0.08 — the relationship is probably coincidental, not causal.
