"known_limitations": [
"Self-selected survey of mostly JAniCA-connected workers, Web method added in 2023; the table marks the response rate as not estimable for 2023 and 2026, so rounds are not strictly comparable.",
"The 5 MB PDF is largely charts; only the comparison table, cover and colophon were read in text form.",
"Statistics are reported by the survey authors and were not recomputed."
