Methodology
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).
4 of the 21 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 17 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 for each breakdown it prices, in USD (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences for one breakdown), so a page that gives figures for several breakdowns gives one for each and N counts 5 figures, never sentences; 140 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): median and mean wage plus employment count per maintenance occupation per jurisdiction, and per US state and metro, quoted from the national statistical agency's own release with its reference period; the year-on-year change; and the loaded cost of a technician set beside the software index's per-seat price, which gives cost of the system as a share of the cost of the person - the figure neither the agencies nor the vendors publish
140 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
