Career Coaches Are Just Crystals
US Career Coaching Industry Revenue vs US Healing Crystal Industry Revenue
As career coaching revenue surged, the healing crystal industry surged right with it. Turns out "manifest your dream job" and "rub a rose quartz" are the same business model. LinkedIn is a metaphysical mall.
“Every executive coach worth their retainer keeps a chunk of amethyst under the standing desk. It is industry standard.”
— Prof. Quartz Bigsby, Workplace Mystic
How we paired this data
Stupid Correlations scans hundreds of public time-series datasets and surfaces pairings whose Pearson correlation crosses a comically high threshold. US Career Coaching Industry Revenue and US Healing Crystal Industry Revenue hit r ≈ 100% (positive) over the years they overlap — the algorithm flagged it, and we kept it because the headline practically wrote itself.
Crucially, no causal model was tested, no covariates were controlled for, and no peer reviewer was consulted. This is the statistical equivalent of finding two people with the same birthday at a wedding and writing a paper about destiny. Real research adjusts for confounders; we adjust the caption for laughs.
If the chart makes you suspicious of the next data-driven headline you read, the page has done its job.
