Field notes
The source notes name BLS data via FRED, USPS historical stamp rates, Census/HUD new-house prices, and other series, while spelling out gaps and adjustments. For example, the page says older milk prices are converted from half-gallon prices using an overlap period, and older electricity figures are scaled to the BLS city-average level. The instructions also describe weekday difficulty increasing from Monday to Sunday.
