[[INTRODUCTION]]

The interplay between digital media and the labor market has long been a subject of fascination for researchers, with each new study uncovering unexpected connections and correlations. In this paper, we delve into the whimsical world of YouTube video titles and their unlikely impact on the workforce of janitors and cleaners in Illinois. It is a topic that straddles the divide between frivolity and functionality, drawing attention to the often overlooked, yet crucial, role of linguistic appeal in driving employment trends.

As society hurtles into the digital age, the landscape of entertainment and information dissemination has undergone a profound transformation. YouTube, in particular, has emerged as a behemoth of content creation and consumption, captivating audiences with its wide array of video offerings. Amidst this cacophony of content, Computerphile's channel stands out, not only for its insightful discussions on computer science but also for the artistry of its video titles. While the channel's primary focus is on the intricacies of technology, our research suggests that its titles may wield an unexpected influence over an entirely different sector - the diligent and oft-underappreciated workforce responsible for tidying up our physical spaces.

One cannot help but marvel at the unlikely juxtaposition of these two seemingly disparate domains - digital content creation and the labor force dedicated to cleanliness. Yet, as we shall demonstrate, the allure of a well-crafted YouTube video title may hold more sway than one might expect, subtly nudging employment patterns in the world of janitorial services.

Our investigation, anchored in the rich tapestry of linguistic analysis and labor statistics, strives to unravel the enigma surrounding this peculiar correlation. Through a systematic examination of Computerphile's video titles and the employment data of janitors and cleaners in Illinois, we aim to shed light on the underlying mechanisms at play and provoke contemplation on the broader implications of these findings. For as much as the connection between YouTube titles and the workforce of tidiers may elicit a wry smile, it also offers a compelling insight into the intricate dance between technology, language, and labor dynamics.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The influence of media content on labor trends has been a subject of scholarly scrutiny in recent years. Smith and Doe (2017) examined the impact of online advertising on employment patterns, revealing nuanced associations between digital marketing strategies and workforce dynamics. Similarly, Jones et al. (2019) investigated the correlation between social media engagement and job retention, offering compelling insights into the intersection of virtual discourse and professional sustainability. These studies underscore the intricate relationships between virtual spheres and real-world employment, setting the stage for our exploration of the unexpected intersection between the captivating discourse of Computerphile's video titles and the labor force dedicated to cleanliness in Illinois.

Delving into the world of linguistic influence and workforce dynamics, "The Power of Words: How Language Shapes Our Reality" (Jones, 2020) provides a thought-provoking examination of the impact of language on societal structures. Drawing from sociolinguistic theory and empirical evidence, the book reveals the pervasive influence of linguistic constructs on human behavior and institutional frameworks. Its implications for our current investigation resonate with the profound connection between the rhetorical prowess of YouTube video titles and the occupational patterns of janitors and cleaners.

On the fiction front, the whimsical exploration of linguistic manipulation in George Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four" echoes subtle echoes of our current endeavor. While the novel may seem tangential to our research at first glance, the underlying message of linguistic control and societal power dynamics strikes a chord with our investigation into the persuasive magnetism of YouTube video titles and their impact on the maintenance workforce. In a similarly playful vein, Jasper Fforde's "The Eyre Affair" unravels a literary landscape where words hold tangible power, offering a lighthearted yet intriguing parallel to our examination of the rhetorical prowess of Computerphile's video titles.

Taking an unconventional turn, anecdotal evidence from perusing the length of countless CVS receipts offers an unexpectedly enlightening perspective on consumer behavior and, by extension, its connection to labor trends. While seemingly unrelated to the scholarly discourse on media influence and workforce dynamics, the sheer expanse of printed promotional content on these receipts sparks contemplation on the multifaceted nature of advertising and its potential influence on consumer spending, thus veering into the realm of employment patterns. While not a traditional source of academic inquiry, the experiential insights gleaned from these mundane artifacts prompt a reevaluation of the diverse touchpoints between media, consumerism, and labor dynamics.

[[DISCUSSION]]

The results of our study provide compelling evidence in support of the unexpected relationship between the linguistic prowess of Computerphile's YouTube video titles and the labor force responsible for cleanliness maintenance in Illinois. The robust correlation coefficient and statistical significance observed suggest a tangible association between these seemingly disparate domains. Our findings echo the preceding research by Smith and Doe (2017) and Jones et al. (2019), who delved into the influence of media content on employment patterns. While their work focused on digital marketing strategies and social media engagement, respectively, our investigation expands this discourse by unveiling the persuasive impact of compelling language, even in the context of seemingly incongruous fields.

The resonances with "The Power of Words: How Language Shapes Our Reality" (Jones, 2020) highlight the pervasive influence of linguistic constructs on societal structures and human behavior. However, our study ventures further by demonstrating how the captivating discourse of YouTube video titles can transcend virtual realms and influence real-world labor trends. The parallels to literary works such as George Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four" and Jasper Fforde's "The Eyre Affair," although seemingly whimsical, elevate the discussion of language manipulation to a more pragmatic plane, underscoring the potential ramifications of persuasive rhetoric on occupational dynamics.

Additionally, the anecdotal exploration of consumer behavior evoked by seemingly unrelated artifacts, such as lengthy CVS receipts, converges with our study's recognition of the intricate interplay between media, consumerism, and labor dynamics. While seemingly humorous, this unconventional source of insight offers a lighthearted yet meaningful addition to the discourse on the multifaceted nature of media influence.

Our findings not only affirm the validity of the connection between the enchanting nature of YouTube video titles and the workforce dedicated to cleanliness but also encourage a broader examination of the cultural and linguistic influences on labor trends. Moreover, the substantial r-squared value underscores the potential for future studies to explore the remaining variance and uncover additional factors contributing to this intriguing relationship. Ultimately, our research not only offers a whimsical insight into the unexpected interlinking of linguistic appeal and labor patterns but also sets the stage for a deeper understanding of the dynamic interplay between digital media and real-world occupational trends.

Correlation r = 0.8876083 (Pearson correlation coefficient)
Correlation is a measure of how much the variables move together. If it is 0.99, when one goes up the other goes up. If it is 0.02, the connection is very weak or non-existent. If it is -0.99, then when one goes up the other goes down. If it is 1.00, you probably messed up your correlation function.

r2 = 0.7878484 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 78.8% of the change in the one variable (i.e., The number of janitors and cleaners in Illinois) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., How good Computerphile YouTube video titles are) over the 10 years from 2013 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 0.000608. 0.0006082825476822806000000000
The p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme. More specifically the p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme if we had only tested one pair of variables one time.

But I am a p-villain. I absolutely did not test only one pair of variables one time. I correlated hundreds of millions of pairs of variables. I threw boatloads of data into an industrial-sized blender to find this correlation.

Who is going to stop me? p-value reporting doesn't require me to report how many calculations I had to go through in order to find a low p-value!
On average, you will find a correaltion as strong as 0.89 in 0.0608% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 1,644 random variables Which I absolutely did.
with the same 9 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 9 because we have two variables measured over a period of 10 years. It's just the number of years minus ( the number of variables minus one ), which in this case simplifies to the number of years minus one.
you would randomly expect to find a correlation as strong as this one.

[ 0.58, 0.97 ] 95% correlation confidence interval (using the Fisher z-transformation)
The confidence interval is an estimate the range of the value of the correlation coefficient, using the correlation itself as an input. The values are meant to be the low and high end of the correlation coefficient with 95% confidence.

This one is a bit more complciated than the other calculations, but I include it because many people have been pushing for confidence intervals instead of p-value calculations (for example: NEJM. However, if you are dredging data, you can reliably find yourself in the 5%. That's my goal!


All values for the years included above: If I were being very sneaky, I could trim years from the beginning or end of the datasets to increase the correlation on some pairs of variables. I don't do that because there are already plenty of correlations in my database without monkeying with the years.

Still, sometimes one of the variables has more years of data available than the other. This page only shows the overlapping years. To see all the years, click on "See what else correlates with..." link above.

Why this works

  1. Data dredging: I have 25,237 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 636,906,169 correlation calculations! This is called “data dredging.” Instead of starting with a hypothesis and testing it, I instead abused the data to see what correlations shake out. It’s a dangerous way to go about analysis, because any sufficiently large dataset will yield strong correlations completely at random.
  2. Lack of causal connection: There is probably Because these pages are automatically generated, it's possible that the two variables you are viewing are in fact causually related. I take steps to prevent the obvious ones from showing on the site (I don't let data about the weather in one city correlate with the weather in a neighboring city, for example), but sometimes they still pop up. If they are related, cool! You found a loophole.
    no direct connection between these variables, despite what the AI says above. This is exacerbated by the fact that I used "Years" as the base variable. Lots of things happen in a year that are not related to each other! Most studies would use something like "one person" in stead of "one year" to be the "thing" studied.
  3. Observations not independent: For many variables, sequential years are not independent of each other. If a population of people is continuously doing something every day, there is no reason to think they would suddenly change how they are doing that thing on January 1. A simple Personally I don't find any p-value calculation to be 'simple,' but you know what I mean.
    p-value calculation does not take this into account, so mathematically it appears less probable than it really is.
