# Unemployment Rate Sequential Input-Change Attribution Calculator

> Unemployment Rate Sequential Input-Change Attribution Calculator 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 a sequential (waterfall) attribution of changes in unemployment rate by changing each input from baseline to final one at a time in declared field order, reporting each incremental effect.

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-sequential-input-change-attribution-calculator-b4177215 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Break down what drove the unemployment rate change: before, there were 50 unemployed out of a labour force of 1000; after, there were 55 unemployed out of a labour force of 1100. Show me a sequential waterfall attribution changing each input one at a time in field order.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need an order-dependent, sequential (waterfall-style) decomposition of an unemployment rate change that shows precisely how much each individual input contributes as it is changed from baseline to final, one variable at a time. Prefer it over a simultaneous attribution when the sequence of changes matters or when you want a classic bridge/waterfall chart narrative. It is purpose-built for unemployment rate analysis with a fixed two-variable formula (unemployed / labour_force).

## Known failure modes

- labour_force value of zero causes division-by-zero error (exclusiveMinimum enforced)
- missing required fields (unemployed or labour_force) in before or after objects returns validation error
- values exceeding maximum (1,000,000,000,000) rejected
- non-numeric inputs rejected
- payment failure (insufficient USDC) returns 402 error

## How this service works

Unemployment rate - Sequential input-change attribution: Change each input from baseline to final in declared field order, reporting each incremental effect; order dependent. 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 sequential input-change attribution report.

## Output

A JSON object containing the sequential waterfall attribution report for the unemployment rate metric, including: the formula used, units, each input's incremental effect on the rate when changed from baseline to final value in declared field order, and stated limitations of the analysis.
