Data ingestion baseline

• BLS OES — May 2024 release: ingestion in progress for 5 P0 occupations × 51 states + national.
• BEA RPP — 2023 vintage: ingestion in progress.
• License reciprocity — initial coding: NLC member states (41), PT Compact members, NASDTEC participants, ARELLO partial-reciprocity coding all snapshotted from official trackers as of May 2026.
• Until ETL completes, occupation pages display indicative figures sourced from May 2024 OES; pages will switch to dynamically-loaded data once `etl/build_real_wage.py` lands.

Roadmap (next 60 days)

• BLS / BEA ETL pipeline — automated quarterly sync, replacing current static page content with field-driven values.
• UI redesign — full visual system replacing the current minimal-readability layer (see source CSS for the marker block).
• Phase 2 occupation rollout — 7 additional occupations once ETL pipeline is stable.
• GSC + Bing Webmaster verification + sitemap submission — once UI lands and content is editorially complete.
• Editorial track — first long-form pieces under the four Insights pillars.
