US Annual Working Hours per Worker vs US Adolescent Birth Rate
US Annual Working Hours per Worker and US Adolescent Birth Rate correlate at r = +0.81 over 64 years (1960–2023), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = +0.16. 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 0.16 — the relationship is probably coincidental, not causal.
