bls_get_series — Fetch historical time series data for employment, inflation, wages, productivity, or housing. Returns dated data points with values. Provide series ID (e.g., "PAYEMS" for total nonfarm employment).
bls_search — Search BLS economic data series by keyword. Returns matching series IDs and titles. Use bls_get_series with an ID to fetch historical data points.
bls_latest — Get the most recent data point for a BLS series. Returns latest value and date. Use when you need current figures without historical context.
bls_popular_series — Browse popular BLS series by category: employment, inflation, wages, housing, productivity. Returns series IDs and descriptions. Start here to explore available data.
bls_local_unemployment — Look up the current LOCAL-AREA unemployment rate (or employment/labor force) for a US county, metro area (MSA), or city/town by NAME — e.g. "Wake County, NC", "Cary, North Carolina", "Fargo-Moorhead MSA". Resolves the place to its BLS LAUS series id (bls_get_series cannot do this; it needs a series ID, not a place name) and returns recent monthly data. Falls back to the county when a city is below the LAUS city-reporting threshold, and says so. Data is NOT seasonally adjusted.
