Editorial Policy
How Career Launch sources its claims, handles corrections, and keeps content current. Career advice is YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) territory — users deserve to know where the numbers come from.
Sourcing standards
Every labor-market statistic on this site traces back to a primary government, academic, or major-press source. We do not cite secondary aggregators or AI-generated summaries when a primary source exists. Our standing references include the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (recent-graduate labor market tracker), the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (occupational employment, wage projections, JOLTS), the St. Louis Fed, Cleveland Fed, Harvard Business Review, the American Psychological Association (Work in America survey), the World Economic Forum (Future of Jobs report), IEEE Spectrum, Challenger, Gray & Christmas, and reporting from Fortune, Axios, CNBC, Newsweek, and Rest of Worldfor context on private-sector labor signals. When we paraphrase or aggregate, the underlying numbered citations stay linked at their source — see /why-now for the full citation list.
Corrections
If you find an error — a misquoted number, a stale citation, a misattributed source — email team@careerlaunch.now with the URL and the specific claim. We acknowledge corrections within two business days and update the page with a visible “Last updated” stamp (and matching dateModified in structured data) reflecting the change. Material errors get a change-log entry; cosmetic fixes do not.
Update cadence
Labor-market pages are reviewed quarterly when the underlying NY Fed and BLS releases drop. Pricing and product pages are reviewed every time pricing or features change. Legal pages (Terms, Privacy) are reviewed annually or when applicable law changes. Every page carries a visible “Last reviewed” date matching the structured-data dateModified, so users and crawlers see the same freshness signal.
AI use disclosure
Career Launch uses large language models (Anthropic Claude) to power in-product features — the AI Coach, JD Decoder, resume review cycles, and outreach scripts. Marketing-site content (this page included) is drafted with AI assistance and edited by humans before publication. Statistical claims are always tied back to a primary source; we do not publish AI-generated numbers.
