# Unemployment Rate Named Scenario Comparison

> Unemployment Rate Named Scenario Comparison is a paid API for AI agents from market.datapackvibe.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-18).

Computes and compares unemployment rate across up to 20 named override scenarios against a single baseline, returning JSON with formula, units, and limitations.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 unemployment-rate-named-scenario-comparison-5a25faa0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I have a baseline of 50 unemployed people out of a labour force of 1,000. Can you compare the unemployment rate against two scenarios: one where 60 people are unemployed (call it 'mild recession') and one where the labour force shrinks to 900 with 70 unemployed (call it 'severe contraction')?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to systematically compare a single unemployment rate baseline against multiple named what-if scenarios in one call, especially when you want structured JSON output with formula and unit metadata. It is purpose-built for named scenario comparison (up to 20 scenarios) rather than single-point calculations or time-series lookups. Prefer it over generic calculators when you need labelled scenario diffs for reporting or downstream analysis.

## Known failure modes

- labour_force of zero or negative triggers validation error (exclusiveMinimum constraint)
- more than 20 scenarios submitted returns an error (maxItems limit)
- missing required fields (label or overrides) in scenario objects cause schema rejection
- overrides object with no properties fails minProperties:1 constraint
- numbers exceeding 1,000,000,000,000 are rejected by maximum constraint
- malformed JSON body returns parse error

## How this service works

Unemployment rate - Named scenario comparison: Apply up to 20 explicit input-override scenarios to one baseline and report their differences. Metric: Unemployment rate. Supplied figures only; returns JSON with formula, units and limitations. One of 50 calculators with 20 analysis modes. No live feed, financial advice or trade execution. 0.01 USDC includes one bounded named scenario comparison report.

## Output

A JSON object containing the computed unemployment rate for the baseline and each named scenario, the difference from baseline for each scenario, along with the formula used (unemployed / labour_force × 100), units (percentage), and stated limitations of the calculation.
