How this service works
x402-powered economic data API. CPI inflation, labor market, GDP, Treasury yields, and energy prices. Pay per query in USDC on Base mainnet.
Output
Returns current U.S. labor market data sourced from BLS: unemployment rate, nonfarm payroll additions, job openings count, quits rate, and average wage figures, likely as a structured JSON object with labeled fields and possibly timestamp/period metadata.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“What does the latest U.S. jobs report show — give me the unemployment rate, nonfarm payrolls, job openings, quits rate, and wage growth as of the most recent BLS release.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://econ.memoryapi.org/x402/econ/jobsWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need official, authoritative U.S. labor market statistics directly sourced from BLS — especially unemployment rate, nonfarm payrolls, job openings, quits rate, and wages — in a single convenient call without scraping BLS directly. Prefer over generic FRED endpoints when you specifically need employment-focused BLS indicators rather than broader macroeconomic data.
Side effects
- HTTP 402 Payment Required if x402 payment not provided
- Stale data if BLS has not yet released the latest report
- Network timeout or upstream BLS data unavailability
- Malformed response if BLS source data feed is delayed or incomplete
