What was corrected
Article included a blockquote attributed to 'Chris Simmons, veteran transition coach and founder of a military-to-tech employment program' (vague, unverifiable credential, no program named), and precise tiered clearance salary-premium dollar ranges (Secret $8,000-$15,000, Top Secret $15,000-$25,000, TS/SCI $25,000-$50,000+) with no cited source.
De-attributed the quote to plain prose, and softened the precise tiered clearance premium dollar ranges to qualitative statements describing that premiums scale with clearance level, with a note to check a current source such as ClearanceJobs before relying on specific figures.
Suggested change
De-attributed the unverifiable quote to plain prose and softened uncited precise clearance-premium dollar figures to qualitative ranges.
Why this is better
Applied fact-check corrections: de-attributed an unverifiable quote and softened uncited precise clearance-premium dollar figures to qualitative ranges.
