Pairing boundaryThe National Economic Context Observatory places exact source observations on one dated workspace, but it does not merge their units, frequencies, universes, seasonal-adjustment conventions, or release calendars. Monthly, quarterly, calendar-year, and fiscal-year signals keep independent scales. Missing periods are not interpolated or carried forward. These descriptive accounts do not establish concentration, profits, markups, employer power, a legal antitrust market, policy effectiveness, welfare effects, or causation, and they are never combined into a composite score. Payroll jobs and nominal hourly earnings retain different units; their association is descriptive and composition-sensitive.
