Maybe journals should have a policy that data from anonymous sources will be verified by the journal before publication.
The editor could contact the firm, to verify that it exists and that the study was conducted as stated.
@aeadata.bsky.social is this feasible or am I missing something?

One of the largest channels for high-skill US immigration is a program for foreign students called Optional Practical Training (OPT).
The US Administration may be considering the termination of OPT.

Who much did individual American employees' hourly wages grow over the last year?
The typical employees wages grew 4.1%, half had faster growth than this & the other half slower.
Wage growth is faster than pre-pandemic but decelerating, faster than price growth.
