How this service works
US unemployment from BLS, monthly, newest first — national (CPS, "US") or by US state (LAUS). Pass area ("US" or a 2-letter state) and optionally measure = rate (default), unemployed, employed, or laborforce. Returns seasonally-adjusted values per month for a trailing window (rate in percent; counts in thousands). Public-domain, live-wrap. Fresh local labor-market context agents can't recite.
Output
Returns a JSON object with an array of items, each containing the area code, area type, measure (rate/unemployed/employed/laborforce), units, and an array of time-series data points with period and value. Also includes source metadata (BLS URL, license, provider name).
Example use cases
Example prompt
“What's the unemployment rate in California for the last 12 months? Pull the BLS data broken down by month.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://2s.io/api/labor/unemploymentWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, government-sourced US unemployment or labor market statistics at the national or state level, especially when ground-truth BLS data is required. Prefer this over scraped or estimated data sources when accuracy and official sourcing matter. Best for time-series analysis of labor market conditions without needing signup or API keys.
Side effects
- Missing or invalid 'area' parameter returns an error
- Invalid state code returns no results or an error
- Months value outside 1–60 range rejected by schema validation
- BLS upstream unavailability may cause failed or stale responses
- Requesting a measure enum value not in the allowed list returns a validation error
