These relationship/income/employment figures causally due to GLP-1s are absolutely enormous - almost implausibly so - but this is from Rebecca, who is an incredibly careful researcher. Super super interesting. (And yes, we'll all be on low-dose 3rd gen GLP-1s soon...)

The relationship result makes sense to me given that weight is the single most common deal breaker criterion for guys. What is the mechanism for employment? No longer too difficult/ painful to stand at a job all day? No longer getting discriminated against by hiring managers?

GLP-1 increases marriage, which will boost fertility and cancel out the effect of iPhone. This in turn will raise population, so minimum wage will have negative effect on employment again.

Insofar as it's an elite persuasion program on housing supply, I think it's been successful and can work as part of a DSA city agenda. Insofar as it's a program to convince the public that data centers and AI are fine and to let capitalist planning rip, it has been a failure.
