Cline calls `get_unemployment_rate` to fetch the current national numbers. It places the data exactly where you need it, whether that is a JSON config or a live React component. Stop copying and pasting from browser tabs. Tell Cline to update your files with the latest CPS figures and watch it finish the task.
