Field service trends: Field Service Workforce

Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).

5 of the 14 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 9 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 0 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.

The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in USD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 39 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.

The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): one series per occupation a field service technician is actually coded to - HVACR mechanics, industrial machinery mechanics, office-machine repairers, general maintenance - rather than the single invented 'field service technician' figure the trade press quotes: employment, median and percentile wages by state and metro from the OES release, the projected ten-year change from the OOH, the establishment count by employment size from SUSB, and the GB comparator from ASHE; the derivation is the pay spread across occupations and states, and the year-on-year change across releases, which no single BLS table shows

39 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
