US Annual Working Hours per Worker vs US Infant Mortality

US Annual Working Hours per Worker and US Infant Mortality correlate at r = +0.89 over 64 years (1960–2023), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = +0.58. Holds up after detrending.

Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = < 0.0001) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = 0.58). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
