Editorial pillars

When the editorial track opens, the first batch will cover:

PILLAR · WAGE TRENDS

Real-wage divergence by state

Tracking which states are widening or narrowing the gap between nominal wages and BEA RPP-adjusted real wages — using BLS time-series data from the past five May releases.

PILLAR · LICENSE

Compact adoption tracker

Quarterly summaries of which states added, removed, or amended their participation in NLC, PT Compact, NASDTEC, and ARELLO. Bill numbers, effective dates, dissent rationale.

PILLAR · TRANSITION

Bootcamp ROI cohort analysis

Where published outcomes data meets BLS reality. CIRR-aligned bootcamp outcomes vs. what BLS percentile post-program graduates actually land in.

PILLAR · METHODOLOGY

When BLS top-coding masks compensation

P90 capped at $239,200 in OES — what it hides for tech, physician specialties, and partner-track services. How we surface uncapped totals where the data exists.

Why no articles yet

Editorial requires time to do honestly. Rather than ship five thin posts to fill a page, we're keeping this surface explicit about what's coming and when. Each pillar above will become a long-form piece (~3000 words, full data appendix) before anything shorter goes up.
