The recent trend bends down — AJS has slipped 2 weeks running, 10% off the recent high. At $30 per job, Desmond sits 94% below the $525 standard — the clearest place to grow. That is 95% below the Pensacola market average of $586. Desmond worked 22 of 26 expected days this past month — a dependable presence. Fridays are the power day ($133 avg); Thursdays drag ($1). Since Apr, the monthly AJS has gone from $8 to $1 — a slide worth a conversation.
