South African Unemployment Correlation Chart
The statistical analysis conducted on geographies consisting of 182,514,846 people shows a very strong positive correlation between the proportion of South Africans and unemployment in the United States with a correlation coefficient (R) of 0.869 and weighted average of 5.1%. On average, for every 1% (one percent) increase in South Africans within a typical geography, there is an increase of 0.30% in unemployment.
It is essential to understand that the correlation between the percentage of South Africans and unemployment does not imply a direct cause-and-effect relationship. It remains uncertain whether the presence of South Africans influences an upward or downward trend in the level of unemployment within an area, or if South Africans simply ended up residing in those areas with higher or lower levels of unemployment due to other factors.
