Uh Oh -- Inside the Highway and Bridge Industries
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This article describes how this Great Recession has caused the steepest decline in state tax receipts on record. As of the third quarter of 2010, state tax coffers are now 12 percent below pre-recession levels. The economy may be showing signs of life but state incomes, generally, are not. A new report by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP), a nonpartisan research and policy institute that digs into state and federal budgeting, makes bleak reading, but it is a must reading for people trying to assess the coming year as they make plans. States have slashed and hacked into budgets for the past two years, but they still face large budget gaps, according to the report. The report states that at least 46 states struggled to close shortfalls when adopting budgets for the current fiscal year. The report also describes how states will continue to struggle to find the revenue needed to support critical public services for a number of years, threatening hundreds of thousands of jobs.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
