OK, these effect sizes are huge. That and the drama of the findings provokes general skepticism. So I welcome some experienced folks picking this apart.

>Single women’s marriage/cohabitation rates rise by 29 percentage points and employment among baseline nonemployed women rises 27 percentage points after six or more quarters.

I can't view the link because it's behind a login wall, but the first thing that comes to mind is that GLP-1 drugs aren't covered by most insurance plans and cost several hundred dollars/month out-of-pocket.

so unless I see otherwise, I'm going to assume this is finding "being employed is highly correlated with having $500/mo in disposable income"

If the title is correct, and they're tracking people going off of unemployment, I'm pretty sure they had to have been unemployed. If this is in the US, medicaid has long covered GLP-1 for treatment of diabetes, so there's probably lots of data from people who are not wealthy.
