No seasonal adjustment, interpolation, suppressed-value reconstruction or forecast is applied.",
  "limitations": [
    "Quarterly values are unadjusted for seasonality.",
    "Average weekly earnings include overtime and are gross payroll before source deductions.",
    "Earnings are not total employer cost and omit statutory contributions, benefits and overhead.",

    "Enterprise size is total employment across the enterprise, including domestic establishments under common ownership or control.",
    "Selected national rows do not represent a province, occupation, individual business or current quote.",
    "Averages are not recommended pay rates, legal wages, tool defaults or forecasts.",
    "The quality code remains attached to every value; enterprise-size estimates can be volatile and should not be used for contract escalation."
