fix: labor hub commentary — jobs monitor 2027 mismatch (Aug 10 run)

[cemreinanc]

Summary

Automated QA on the Labor Automation Forecasting Hub compared chart/table data against the surrounding commentary text across all sections (Overall Employment, Jobs Monitor, Wages, Graduates, Economy, State-Level View, Research comparison table), including the Jobs Monitor 2027/2030/2035 year toggle.

Two previously-known mismatches (workweek-hours delta and Washington technology-sector wording) were already fixed in a prior run (#5123) and remain correct in this codebase — no change needed there. One new mismatch was found, caused by forecast data drift since the last QA pass:

• Jobs Monitor 2027 "negative" insight: named designers and sales representatives as the early decliners. Current forecast data shows software developers now has a larger projected 2027 decline (≈-1.0%) than sales representatives (≈-0.7%), while designers remains the largest decliner (≈-2.0%). Updated the copy to name designers and software developers, with the reasoning updated from "creative and client-facing work" to "creative and coding work" to match (consistent with how software developers' automation driver is described elsewhere on the page).
• Bumped the "Commentary last updated" date to reflect this pass.

Test plan

• prettier --write on changed files
• eslint on changed files (clean)
• Visual check in a running app (not performed — see notes)

A rabbit hops through outlook text,
Designers now lead the tale.
Coding joins the automation,
August tenth marks the trail.
Two small edits, neat and bright—
The Labor Hub is up to date.
