AI explanation

As the number of executive administrative assistants in Colorado decreased, there was a proportional decrease in the overall efficiency of office operations. This led to a chain of events that impacted businesses in the state, including ArcelorMittal. With less support for scheduling and coordination, there was an increase in overlooked meetings and disorganized communication. This ultimately disrupted the workflow at ArcelorMittal, causing a dip in productivity and decision-making. As rumors of misplaced documents and mixed-up appointments spread, investor confidence waned, and the stock price of ArcelorMittal (MT) took a hit. Remember, it's all about keeping things in order, from paper clips to profit margins!

"Helping Hands: The Support Staff Factor in ArcelorMittal's Stock Performance"

[[ABSTRACT]]
In this paper, we explore the surprising link between the number of executive administrative assistants in Colorado and the stock price of the multinational steel giant, ArcelorMittal (MT). While the connection may seem as unlikely as finding a stapler in a haystack, our study has unearthed a statistically significant relationship that can't just be filed away.

Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and LSEG Analytics (Refinitiv), our research team conducted a thorough analysis covering the period from 2010 to 2022. The results revealed a strong correlation coefficient of 0.9488495 and a p-value of less than 0.01, indicating a robust relationship between these seemingly unrelated variables. It's as if the stock price and the number of administrative assistants are in a perfectly organized sync like a well-managed filing system.

We propose that this unexpected correlation may be due to the vital role of executive administrative assistants in supporting the smooth functioning of business operations. It's almost as if they're the unsung heroes of the corporate world, quietly influencing stock prices from behind the scenes. In a way, they are the "iron" support that keeps ArcelorMittal's stock "steel-y" and strong.

Our findings not only challenge traditional notions of stock market analysis but also shed light on the invaluable contributions of support staff in the corporate landscape. As the saying goes, "Behind every successful CEO, there's a capable administrative assistant." Through this research, we aim to bring attention to the pivotal role of these often overlooked professionals and their impact on the bottom line.

[[INTRODUCTION]]

Amidst the flurry of market analyses and financial reports, there exists a humble yet intriguing connection that has eluded the spotlight for far too long. We set out on a quest to unravel the perplexing link between the number of executive administrative assistants in the picturesque state of Colorado and the performance of ArcelorMittal's stock (MT). It's like searching for a paper clip in a pile of paperwork – unexpected, yet oddly satisfying when discovered.

As we delved into this uncharted territory, our team couldn't help but ponder the enigmatic relationship between administrative assistance and stock price. The findings we unearthed might just sweep you off your feet like a well-placed pun - unexpected but undeniably captivating.

The notion of executive administrative assistants exerting an influence on a multinational corporation's stock performance may seem as unlikely as finding a file labeled "lost documents" in an orderly office - yet our rigorous analysis revealed a correlation that's as clear as black and white printer paper. It's as if the number of administrative assistants is a key ingredient in ArcelorMittal's stock price recipe, much like the essential "stapling" in an office stationery kit.

Our research method involved diving into a sea of data, carefully navigating our way through the waves of statistics and numbers. The correlation coefficient of 0.9488495 and a p-value less than 0.01 were like uncovering gold paper clips in a desk drawer – indicating a strong and statistically significant association. It's almost as if the stock price and the number of administrative assistants were in perfect harmony, just like a well-orchestrated "paper" symphony.

But what does it all mean? How could the number of executive administrative assistants in Colorado possibly sway a multinational corporation's stock price? It's like discovering the hidden potential of a stapler – an unexpected but indubitable force in keeping things together.

We propose that the underappreciated yet indispensable role of executive administrative assistants could be the unsung hero in the corporate saga. Their support and organizational prowess might just be the "steel reinforcement" that fortifies ArcelorMittal's stock, keeping it sturdy and resilient through market fluctuations. It's as if they're quietly waving their magic wand of efficiency behind the scenes, making business operations run as smoothly as a well-oiled paper shredder.

So, brace yourself for a journey that will challenge your preconceived notions about the power dynamics within the corporate setting. As we shine a spotlight on the influence of these oft-forgotten professionals, we aim to provide a new lens through which to view stock market dynamics. After all, as any savvy office manager would tell you, "There's always a paper trail that leads to unexpected discoveries."

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

In their study, Smith et al. (2018) examined the staffing patterns of multinational corporations and their impact on stock performance. Similarly, Doe and Jones (2020) explored the roles of support staff in various industries and their implications on financial outcomes. These serious and well-researched works shed light on the often overlooked contributions of administrative assistants and support staff, providing a solid foundation for our own investigation.

Now, let's take a peek at some non-fiction books related to the topic. In "The Power of Support Staff" by Amanda R. Smith and "The Art of Multinational Stock Analysis" by John Doe, we find insightful perspectives on the roles and impacts of support staff in shaping corporate success. These texts, although not as thrilling as a suspense novel, offer valuable insights into the dynamics of organizational support structures.

Moving on to some fictional works that sound like they could be related. In "The Assistant's Influence" by A.C. Jones, the protagonist's uncanny ability to predict stock market trends through filing techniques adds a whimsical touch to the world of financial analysis. Additionally, in "Stocks and Staples: A Tale of Two Worlds" by J.R. Doe, the intertwining narratives of executive assistants and stockbrokers create an engaging storyline with a surprising twist at the end.

On a more light-hearted note, movies like "The Devil Wears Prada" and "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" explore the behind-the-scenes workings of the corporate world, drawing attention to the pivotal roles played by support staff in shaping business dynamics. These movies, while not directly addressing the correlation between executive administrative assistants in Colorado and ArcelorMittal's stock price, provide entertaining insights into the complexities of office interactions.

Now, back to the serious side of things. While the existing literature lays a solid groundwork for understanding the significance of support staff in organizational performance, our study furthers this discourse by unearthing an unprecedented connection between the number of executive administrative assistants in Colorado and the stock price of ArcelorMittal. It's like discovering a hidden file in a maze of folders - unexpected, yet undeniably intriguing.

As we unravel the unexpected correlation between seemingly disparate variables, we aim to bring attention to the indispensable role of support staff in shaping corporate success. After all, as any good dad would say, "Behind every good company, there's a lot of paperwork and a team of dedicated assistants." Through our research, we hope to spotlight the impactful yet often uncelebrated influence of executive administrative assistants in the ever-evolving landscape of stock market dynamics.

Our research methodology was as meticulous and systematic as organizing a cluttered desk, with a dash of quirkiness and humor akin to leaving a whoopee cushion on the CEO's chair. We combined data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and LSEG Analytics (Refinitiv) to examine the relationship between the number of executive administrative assistants in Colorado and the stock price of ArcelorMittal (MT) from 2010 to 2022.

To quantify the number of executive administrative assistants, we engaged in some high-level administry – gathering data from various administrative job listings, making sure to distinguish between Paper Pusher Pro and Filing Cabinet Extraordinaire. The stock prices of ArcelorMittal, on the other hand, were tracked with the vigilant eye of an eagle, scouring market reports and financial databases like a detective on the trail of a missing stapler.

Our analysis was as detailed as scrutinizing a suspicious signature on a memo, employing advanced statistical tools like correlation analysis and regression modeling to uncover hidden patterns. We explored the data with the intensity of a search for the infamous missing TPS report, diving into the depths of Excel spreadsheets with the tenacity of an office cat determined to unearth buried treasures in a maze of cubicles.

The statistical analysis revealed a correlation coefficient of 0.9488495 and a p-value of less than 0.01, which solidified the strength of the observed association. It was like finding a hidden stash of office snacks in the bottom drawer – a pleasant surprise that underscored the significance of our findings.

The data collection process was not without its challenges, reminiscent of trying to fix a jammed copier on a Monday morning. However, our team navigated through the maze of numbers and variables with the resilience of a paperclip bent out of shape but still holding things together.

The final stage of our methodology involved comparing the results with existing literature and market trends. This step was akin to cross-referencing footnotes in a research paper, diligently checking for consistency and alignment with established knowledge. It was a thrilling journey of discovery, not unlike finding a hidden punchline in a dry financial report – a delightful surprise that brought a touch of levity to the serious world of stock market analysis.

Our methodology may have been unconventional, but as they say, when in doubt, consult the office jester for a fresh perspective. Through our innovative approach and rigorous analysis, we unveiled a connection that's as unexpected as finding a well-hidden paperclip – a discovery that challenges conventional wisdom and brings attention to the often unsung heroes of the corporate landscape.

"Helping Hands: The Support Staff Factor in ArcelorMittal's Stock Performance"

[[ABSTRACT]]
In this paper, we explore the surprising link between the number of executive administrative assistants in Colorado and the stock price of the multinational steel giant, ArcelorMittal (MT). While the connection may seem as unlikely as finding a stapler in a haystack, our study has unearthed a statistically significant relationship that can't just be filed away.

Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and LSEG Analytics (Refinitiv), our research team conducted a thorough analysis covering the period from 2010 to 2022. The results revealed a strong correlation coefficient of 0.9488495 and a p-value of less than 0.01, indicating a robust relationship between these seemingly unrelated variables. It's as if the stock price and the number of administrative assistants are in a perfectly organized sync like a well-managed filing system.

We propose that this unexpected correlation may be due to the vital role of executive administrative assistants in supporting the smooth functioning of business operations. It's almost as if they're the unsung heroes of the corporate world, quietly influencing stock prices from behind the scenes. In a way, they are the "iron" support that keeps ArcelorMittal's stock "steel-y" and strong.

Our findings not only challenge traditional notions of stock market analysis but also shed light on the invaluable contributions of support staff in the corporate landscape. As the saying goes, "Behind every successful CEO, there's a capable administrative assistant." Through this research, we aim to bring attention to the pivotal role of these often overlooked professionals and their impact on the bottom line.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
In their study, Smith et al. (2018) examined the staffing patterns of multinational corporations and their impact on stock performance. Similarly, Doe and Jones (2020) explored the roles of support staff in various industries and their implications on financial outcomes. These serious and well-researched works shed light on the often overlooked contributions of administrative assistants and support staff, providing a solid foundation for our own investigation.
Now, let's take a peek at some non-fiction books related to the topic. In "The Power of Support Staff" by Amanda R. Smith and "The Art of Multinational Stock Analysis" by John Doe, we find insightful perspectives on the roles and impacts of support staff in shaping corporate success. These texts, although not as thrilling as a suspense novel, offer valuable insights into the dynamics of organizational support structures.
Moving on to some fictional works that sound like they could be related. In "The Assistant's Influence" by A.C. Jones, the protagonist's uncanny ability to predict stock market trends through filing techniques adds a whimsical touch to the world of financial analysis. Additionally, in "Stocks and Staples: A Tale of Two Worlds" by J.R. Doe, the intertwining narratives of executive assistants and stockbrokers create an engaging storyline with a surprising twist at the end.
On a more light-hearted note, movies like "The Devil Wears Prada" and "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" explore the behind-the-scenes workings of the corporate world, drawing attention to the pivotal roles played by support staff in shaping business dynamics. These movies, while not directly addressing the correlation between executive administrative assistants in Colorado and ArcelorMittal's stock price, provide entertaining insights into the complexities of office interactions.
Now, back to the serious side of things. While the existing literature lays a solid groundwork for understanding the significance of support staff in organizational performance, our study furthers this discourse by unearthing an unprecedented connection between the number of executive administrative assistants in Colorado and the stock price of ArcelorMittal. It's like discovering a hidden file in a maze of folders - unexpected, yet undeniably intriguing.
As we unravel the unexpected correlation between seemingly disparate variables, we aim to bring attention to the indispensable role of support staff in shaping corporate success. After all, as any good dad would say, "Behind every good company, there's a lot of paperwork and a team of dedicated assistants." Through our research, we hope to spotlight the impactful yet often uncelebrated influence of executive administrative assistants in the ever-evolving landscape of stock market dynamics.

See what else correlates with ArcelorMittal's stock price (MT)

Correlation r = 0.9488495 (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 = 0.9003153 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 90% of the change in the one variable (i.e., ArcelorMittal's stock price (MT)) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., The number of executive administrative assistants in Colorado) over the 13 years from 2010 through 2022.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 7.6E-7. 0.0000007638561635828852000000
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 0.95 in 7.6E-5% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 1,309,147 random variables You don't actually need 1 million variables to find a correlation like this one. I don't have that many variables in my database. You can also correlate variables that are not independent. I do this a lot.

p-value calculations are useful for understanding the probability of a result happening by chance. They are most useful when used to highlight the risk of a fluke outcome. For example, if you calculate a p-value of 0.30, the risk that the result is a fluke is high. It is good to know that! But there are lots of ways to get a p-value of less than 0.01, as evidenced by this project.

In this particular case, the values are so extreme as to be meaningless. That's why no one reports p-values with specificity after they drop below 0.01.

Just to be clear: I'm being completely transparent about the calculations. There is no math trickery. This is just how statistics shakes out when you calculate hundreds of millions of random correlations.
with the same 12 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 12 because we have two variables measured over a period of 13 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.

[ 0.83, 0.98 ] 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 25,153 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 632,673,409 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.

Reuseable content

You may re-use the images on this page for any purpose, even commercial purposes, without asking for permission. The only requirement is that you attribute Tyler Vigen. Attribution can take many different forms. If you leave the "tylervigen.com" link in the image, that satisfies it just fine. If you remove it and move it to a footnote, that's fine too. You can also just write "Charts courtesy of Tyler Vigen" at the bottom of an article.

You do not need to attribute "the spurious correlations website," and you don't even need to link here if you don't want to. I don't gain anything from pageviews. There are no ads on this site, there is nothing for sale, and I am not for hire.

For the record, I am just one person. Tyler Vigen, he/him/his. I do have degrees, but they should not go after my name unless you want to annoy my wife. If that is your goal, then go ahead and cite me as "Tyler Vigen, A.A. A.A.S. B.A. J.D." Otherwise it is just "Tyler Vigen."

When spoken, my last name is pronounced "vegan," like I don't eat meat.
