Common Questions We Get
After several years of publishing coding guides data, certain questions come up consistently from readers. Here are honest answers to the ones we hear most often.
Is the data on this site accurate? We verify every figure against at least two independent sources before publishing. Where sources disagree, we explain the discrepancy and note which figure we consider more reliable and why. No dataset is perfect, and we do not claim ours is — but we are more transparent about our process than most comparable sites.
How current is the data? Each article shows a “Last Verified” date. Our core database is reviewed on a rolling monthly cycle, with major annual updates when new government datasets are released. If a figure feels out of date, check the last verified date — if it is more than six months old on a fast-moving topic, use it as a starting point rather than a final answer.
Can I trust a single data point for an important decision? Use our data as one input among several, not as the only source. Cross-reference what you find here with employer-reported data, official government sources, and conversations with people active in the relevant field. Our role is to give you a reliable baseline — what you do with it is your call.
