## 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 stratalize-bls-sector-employment-indicators-4a7f91f0
```

Example prompt: Pull the current BLS employment indicators for the healthcare sector — I want the employment level, trend direction, and labor momentum so I can assess workforce demand shifts in that segment.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, BLS-sourced employment data at the industry sector level with cryptographic verifiability. Prefer it over raw BLS data pulls when you want pre-processed trend direction and momentum signals rather than raw series data. Ideal for macro analysis, workforce planning assumptions, investor due diligence on labor exposure, or sensitivity analysis by operating segment.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid sector enum value — returns error if sector string is not in the allowed enum list
- BLS data unavailable or stale — may return cached or delayed indicators if upstream release is pending
- Payment failure — x402 payment of 0.1 USDC not processed, request rejected
- Rate limiting — excessive calls may be throttled
- Signature verification failure — cryptographic receipt may not validate if data was tampered in transit
