## 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 x402stock-labor-market-data-527cbf4f
```

Example prompt: What does the latest US labor market data look like — unemployment rate, recent jobs numbers, anything from the most recent report?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative US labor market and employment statistics (unemployment rate, payrolls, jobless claims) for macro research, economic analysis, or investment decisions, especially when you require no API key setup and want pay-per-use billing in USDC. Prefer this over general financial data APIs when you specifically need employment/labor macro indicators rather than stock prices or earnings data.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure if insufficient USDC balance or x402 payment not accepted
- Invalid or missing properties parameter may return empty or error response
- Data may be delayed or unavailable during official release blackout periods
- Rate limiting or proxy errors from ZeroClick intermediary
- Network timeout if upstream data provider is slow

## How this service works

Unemployment, participation, payrolls, and wage growth.

## Output

Returns structured US labor market economic data including indicators such as unemployment rate, nonfarm payrolls, jobless claims, and related employment statistics sourced from official macro data feeds. Response is delivered in JSON format and billed at $0.02 USDC per call via x402.
