- WTLG destination data reflects the current stored WTLG dataset and depends on covered WTLG cities.
- RMOS measures structural opportunity, not actual demand; migrant stock is not annual migration flow.
- Different datasets have different update cycles.
- This profile does not estimate provider revenue or demand for a specific professional service.
