Shouldn't that be roughly constant across the year though? We don't need to trus...

Should fraud rates in public taxpayer-funded systems stay constant or go down over time, assuming no new fraud type is invented?

Depends what if anything is being done to combat it.

One of the following is true:

- The numbers somewhat-accurately reflect the trend of employment

- Fraud levels were reduced 66x in one year

If it was the second one, that's a sufficiently massive reduction that news stories would be written about it. There would be stories about this great victory over fraud.

A quick search showed no particular anti-fraud measures or claims of effectiveness unique to that time period.
