Apprentice-to-Journeyman Wage Progression Planner

Anchor an apprentice's wage progression to the cited OEWS journeyman base-wage figure for a named trade SOC and geography, then step buyer-set percentages across buyer-set period lengths to reach that rate. Enter your start percentage (say 45%), how many periods your program runs, and the percentage at each step; the workbook computes the dollar wage at every stage and the cumulative wage across the program. It plans wage steps only — no titles, no levels, no promotion criteria. The journeyman anchor is a real BLS figure loaded from the dataset; every step percentage and period length is yours, and the dollar wage at each step is arithmetic on what you enter.
