## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability citiview-bls-labor-price-statistics-868c1737
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest US CPI, core CPI, unemployment rate, and nonfarm payrolls figures, along with their 12-month change, for the last 6 data points?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative, official US labor and macroeconomic statistics directly from the Bureau of Labor Statistics — especially CPI, unemployment, payrolls, or PPI — with 12-month change already computed. Prefer it over web scraping or general search for structured, time-series economic data that requires accuracy and consistency.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown BLS series ID returns an error or empty result
- Requesting data before BLS coverage starts may return partial results
- Rate limiting or payment failure at $0.003/call may block the request
- BLS data release lag means the most recent period may not yet be available
- Malformed indicators list returns a validation error

## How this service works

US labor and price statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics: CPI and core CPI, unemployment, payrolls, average hourly earnings, PPI, participation and job openings (or any BLS series id), with 12-month change.

## Output

Returns structured data for one or more BLS economic indicators, including the numeric value for each time period, the series name, and the 12-month percentage change. Supports standard indicators (CPI, core CPI, unemployment, payrolls, average hourly earnings, PPI, labor participation, job openings) or arbitrary BLS series IDs.
