What is missing
No published figure touches demand, supply, cost, structure for this market.
Nothing here was measured on this market. Every figure is borrowed from a wider region or job family, which is why this cell cannot rise above confidence C.
The newest figure is 7 quarters back. This reading describes what was known then.
