BLS Employment & Wages
Connects Claude to Bureau of Labor Statistics data through a streamable HTTP endpoint. You get tools to pull unemployment rates, labor force participation stats, and Consumer Price Index figures at state and county level. Useful when you're building economic analysis workflows, researching local job markets, or need inflation data without scraping BLS.gov yourself. Part of OlyPort's federal data collection, which offers a free tier with 100 calls per day. Reach for this when you need labor and economic indicators in a structured format your AI can query directly instead of asking it to interpret tables from government websites.
