Season: this calendar month usually runs close to the series’ average month.

Calculated by Voydar (method: voydar.series_signals v1) from the index as published by U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The score is the modified z-score (median and median absolute deviation) of the newest change against up to 60 earlier changes; 3.5 or more is outside the usual range. A month’s score can move slightly when a later run reads one more month. Computed November 11, 2026. How this is calculated
