The change between non-overlapping survey periods is smaller than the combined published margin of error, so no real change can be claimed.
Disconnected youth changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (7.8% then, 8.5% now; margin ±1.9pp).

A real change beyond the survey margin; neither direction is inherently better for this metric.
Population rose about 2% between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys, from 617,790 to 631,818 - more than the combined survey margin (±238).

The change between non-overlapping survey periods is within the margin, but each of the last 4 annual releases moved the 5-year average the same way. Direction is a reliable early signal; its size is not.
Working parents changed less than the survey can measure between the 2015-2019 and 2020-2024 surveys (73.5% then, 69.0% now; margin ±5.0pp). The newest releases lean downward: each of the last 4 annual updates moved the 5-year average the same way - an early signal, not a measured change.*
