# The Stall — Labor Market Data

> The Stall — Labor Market Data is a paid API for AI agents from the-stall.intuitek.ai, paid per call via x402, $0.008/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

## 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 the-stall-labor-market-data-5365c107
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest labor market data — employment trends, wage levels, whatever's available — I need to understand current workforce conditions for a research report?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need lightweight, pay-as-you-go labor market data without committing to a subscription or API key — ideal for one-off lookups or agents that infrequently query workforce statistics and want to pay per call in USDC.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required query parameters returns a 400 bad request
- Insufficient USDC payment or failed x402 payment flow returns 402 Payment Required
- Invalid property filters return empty or error response
- Rate limiting or service unavailability returns 503

## How this service works

Returns US labor market leading indicators from FRED (free, no API key): initial jobless claims (weekly), continued claims, JOLTS job openings, nonfarm payrolls, labor force participation rate, average hourly earnings with YoY wage growth, and the openings-per-unemployed Beveridge curve ratio. Pairs with macro-indicators for the complete employment picture.

## Output

Structured labor market data including employment, wage, and workforce indicators relevant to the queried parameters, returned as a JSON payload after a $0.008 USDC micropayment on Base mainnet.
