The claim
Employment, age 15+ (SA): level shift detected around Sep 2024
A two-segment mean-shift scan over the last 40 months places the largest level shift in employment, age 15+ (sa) around Sep 2024: mean 20,545,606 before vs 21,022,462 after (shift = 3.7× pooled variability). The detector locates the shift; it does not attribute a cause.
Method
Deterministic two-segment mean-shift scan; break where |Δmean|/pooled sd ≥ 1.5 with ≥8 periods per segment.
