fix: labor hub commentary — hours worked and financial specialists

[cemreinanc]

Summary

Automated commentary audit of https://www.metaculus.com/labor-hub found two misalignments between chart forecast data and surrounding commentary text.

Fixes

1. Wages section — hours worked reduction

• Old text: "The workweek is also expected to become about three hours shorter by 2035 among all workers"
• Chart data: Average weekly hours: 38.3 (2025) → 33.7 (2035) = ~4.6 hours shorter
• New text: "The workweek is also expected to become about five hours shorter by 2035 among all workers"

2. Research / Comparison section — financial specialists direction

• Old text: "while financial specialists are expected to see only modest decline"
• Chart data: Financial Specialists employment: +0.9% (2030), +1.2% (2035) — consistent growth, not decline
• New text: "while financial specialists are expected to see only modest growth"

3. Commentary date

• Updated "Commentary last updated" from Jun 17 → Jun 20

Files changed

• front_end/src/app/(main)/labor-hub/page.tsx — hours worked claim
• front_end/src/app/(main)/labor-hub/sections/research.tsx — financial specialists direction
• front_end/src/app/(main)/labor-hub/sections/hero.tsx — commentary date

Three text-only edits to the Labor Hub frontend: the 2035 workweek forecast in the Wages section changes from "about three hours" to "about five hours shorter," the hero section's "Commentary last updated" date advances from June 17 to June 20, and the specialist employment outlook in the Research section flips from "modest decline" to "modest growth."

Poem

🐇 Three became five, the forecast grew tall,
A June date slipped forward, no trouble at all,
"Decline" turned to "growth" with a flick of a word,
The tiniest edits — the clearest I've heard.
Hop hop, small fixes make futures more true! 🌟
