 "methodology": "Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2). 6 of the 17 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 11 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 0 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere. The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in EUR (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 115 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): the national statistics office's quarterly average basic salary by occupation and by economic activity, stacked into a SERIES nobody publishes as one table (NSO releases one quarter at a time), then joined to the statutory table so each figure carries its own net: the take-home of the average manager and the average elementary worker, the spread between them, the real change once COLA is subtracted, and Malta's position against the EU hourly labour cost.",
