Transaction-data Benchmark

A transaction-data benchmark is built from records of actual transactions rather than surveys or estimates, making it harder to game and more defensible to cite.

Transaction anchoring is the same principle behind benchmarks like SOFR: the number reflects what was actually paid, not what respondents claim.

The WorkForce Labor Index uses verified marketplace transactions as its highest-quality input tier.
