Cause of death: the autopsy

Off-cycle changes are rare: the mileage rate moved mid-year only in 2022 and 2026. When they happen, SHRM, the American Payroll Association, the Journal of Accountancy and Littler cover them within days, for free, and a free dataset with RSS already exists for interest rates.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.

Could rise again if

The report left no way back.
