Chart shows the STL trend (raw quarterly values omitted for clarity). Trend computed via STL decomposition (period=4, robust); salary on log scale. Projection extrapolates a linear fit through the last 4 trend points to the current calendar quarter — the horizon shrinks as new QCEW data is published. BLS does not publish seasonally adjusted QCEW — this is a custom estimate.
