## 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 locus-report-workplace-employment-context-06004af1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What are the workplace job counts and industry sector breakdown within 500 meters of 123 Main St, Austin, TX — I need daytime employment context for a commercial site selection decision?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, government-sourced daytime employment counts at block level near a specific US location for commercial site selection, tenant diligence, or labor market context. Prefer it over foot traffic or visit data when you need actual job counts by industry rather than consumer activity estimates. It is not suitable for foot traffic, retail demand forecasting, consumer demographics, or non-workplace residential population counts.

## Known failure modes

- No workplace census blocks found within the specified radius — returns empty or charge-free result
- State LODES snapshot missing or stale — endpoint returns no data and does not charge
- Invalid or unresolvable address — geocoding failure
- Radius outside allowed bounds (250–5000 meters) — validation error
- Invalid industry sector code outside CNS01–CNS20 — validation error
- Coordinates outside continental US coverage — no data returned

## How this service works

Census LODES workplace jobs and broad industry sectors within a radius. Perfect for: commercial site selection, tenant diligence, daytime employment, and labor context near a selected site. Returns annual block-level aggregates only; excludes worker demographics. Jobs are not shoppers, visits, foot traffic, sales, demand, or a forecast. Charge-free when the state snapshot is missing, stale, unavailable, or no workplace block falls in the radius.

## Output

Annual block-level aggregate job counts for all workplace blocks falling within the specified radius, broken down by Census LODES industry sector codes (CNS01–CNS20). Excludes worker demographics and home-to-work flows. Returns no charge and no data if the state snapshot is missing, stale, or unavailable, or if no workplace blocks exist in the radius.
