## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability talentpulse-skills-gap-analysis-b5ac9d24
```

Example prompt: Can you pull a skills gap analysis for the healthcare industry in the United States — I need to see the critical capability shortfalls, what's causing them, available reskilling pathways, any relevant government initiatives, and which upskilling investments have the best ROI?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, ROI-prioritized workforce planning intelligence — specifically the gap between employer demand and worker supply — for a given industry and country. Prefer this over generic labor market endpoints when you need actionable reskilling pathways, government initiative context, and ranked upskilling recommendations rather than raw salary or hiring data.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported industry or country combination returns 404 or empty results
- Ambiguous industry specification may return overly broad or mismatched gap data
- Rate limiting or payment failure (402) if x402 payment is not correctly processed
- Stale data if the underlying labor market data has not been refreshed recently
- Network timeout for unusually broad queries spanning many skill categories

## How this service works

Skills-gap and talent-shortage intelligence by industry and country — critical capability gaps where employer demand outpaces workforce supply, root causes, salary premiums, reskilling and upskilling pathways, government initiatives, and ROI-ranked workforce moves. For talent and workforce-planning agents. Any industry, global, 10 languages.

## Output

Returns a structured report covering: critical skills gaps where employer demand outpaces workforce supply, root causes of each gap, reskilling and upskilling pathways to close them, relevant government initiatives or programs, and ROI-ranked recommendations for upskilling investments — all scoped to the specified industry and country.
