The Health-Wealth Gradient in Labor Markets: Integrating Health, Insurance, and Social Metrics to Predict Employment Density
Labor market forecasting relies heavily on economic time-series data, often overlooking the “health–wealth” gradient that links population health to workforce participation. This study develops a machine learning framework integrating non-traditional health and social metrics to predict state-level employment density. Methods: We constructed a multi-source longitudinal dataset (2014–2024) by aggregating county-level Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) data with County Health Rankings to the state lev…
Integrating County Health Rankings and social metrics with QCEW data in a regularized XGBoost framework improved out-of-sample prediction of state-level employment density.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0470 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
