  "Warehousing employment rose from 49,779 in 2022 to 66,084 in 2023 with an H flag. CBP does not explain year-to-year jumps; treat single-year changes with care and do not read them as hiring in that year alone.",
  "Mid-March employment, not an annual average, and a different program from the BLS monthly jobs data."
