Changelog

Seven corroborated entries from 2026-08-08 through 2026-08-24: DOL OFLC LCA coverage remains FY2023-FY2026 after the 2026-08-08 rebuild, and later rows record occupation-title MODE, all-null wage-column removal, and employer Atom feeds. Filing-volume movers by employer live on /changes (FY-to-FY petition deltas, not this editorial log). See methodology for the pipeline and corrections process to report a figure that looks wrong.

  1. Feature

    Opened this public changelog and a /corrections alias to the editorial corrections process, so data-error reports and corroborated pipeline changes share one dated record.

  2. Feature

    Shipped per-employer Atom feeds (/feed/employer/<slug>.xml) and normalized feed entry IDs to the DOL LCA snapshot vintage so saved-employer discovery does not claim individualized alerts the data does not store (commits ad0bdec, 6221b73).

  3. Correction

    Removed all-null median-wage columns from rendered employer and related surfaces so a missing wage is not shown as a blank metric cell (commit 36de334).

  4. Correction

    Occupation titles on employer pages now use the MODE SOC/job title instead of MAX(), which had let misspelled titles such as "Sotware" bleed into the primary label (commit 6ad094f; _metadata last_upgrade 2026-08-21).

  5. Correction

    Soft ranking floors now bind to portal_stats extract counts rather than a hardcoded corpus size, so a thinner extract cannot inherit a floor computed on a larger one (commit 6789309).

  6. Data refresh

    Rebuilt the working database from DOL OFLC LCA disclosures through FY2026 Q2 (_metadata rebuild_completed 2026-08-08T22:11:03Z) and stopped comparing a partial fiscal year against completed ones in displayed rates (commit 8036634).

  7. Methodology

    Documented the certification-rate population on /methodology: Certified plus Certified-Withdrawn in the numerator, all disclosed dispositions in the denominator, FY2023-FY2026 (commit 3f9bffd).

This log lists only changes we can corroborate against git history or database _metadata. It does not cover every historical change to the site; entries begin when the changelog was introduced.
